Condemned tree Barry Road

[Mabaker]

I noticed a sign on one of the trees along Barry Road. It's a few trees down from Etherow Street Bus stop. ( Going into London). It is going to be felled tomorrow. Reason for felling. . . Deceased. I admit I'm no tree expert but can a dead tree still produce masses of leaves? Maybe someone who knows better than me can explain. Or is it just that someone finds this tree to be an inconvenience for whatever reason?

There are many trees in Peckham Rye Park with the same notice on and the same reason

Are you sure it says deceased and not diseased

As I posted on another thread, apparently trees can appear perfectly healthy but be diseased at the roots.

For your peace of mind, the local authority has each tree registered on a plan. They make a risk assessment and it's their decision where public safety is concerned. It doesn't mean it's going to fall down soon, but you'll see they replace trees that they take out (eventually)

The word used in Peckham Park is Dead  rather than diseased/ deceased/ desisted

It might have said diseased. My eyesight has seen better days

I was gutted when the blossom tree outside our close was condemned. But I think they will replace it, as ours was, with what is now a healthy looking, growing fast tree
