Tree 8 – male – not measured – hollowing
Tree 9 – male – about 11′ 6” at 1′ 6”
Some appalling trimming work had been carried out, presumably to get rid of twiggy growth. It appeared to have been carried out by a hedge cutter attached to a tractor. The damage is not terminal, but certainly unnecessary.
