Guidance on dying oak tree with TPO
I've got an old oak tree that's dying. It has a preservation order on it. Will a tree surgeon be able to work with me to stabilise it for as long as possible and guide me on replacing it when the time comes? The tree is on open land, so it's no real danger to people. I just want to make sure I'm fulfilling my responsibility. Is there anything I need to do before it's worked on?
