Default No room, no proper maintenance

This one's just up the road from the first shown in this thread, on the corner as you'll see right next to a school, plenty targets every week day!!

The tree is Albizia saman again, and has had no proper tree work but rather has been well and truely lopped on numerous occaisions and the results of these abuses together with the enormous amount of root damage due to the proximity of gutters has resulted in a big tree containing many problems.

If the volume of deadwood conflicting decaying torn branches wasn't enough the big basal injury around which much of the structure over the school playground has grown has our friend Ganoderma..

Not saying this tree couldn't be managed it could (and should) but have a nasty feeling not much will happen till persons or property get damaged and then well, don't think we'll be getting the call...council tree crew will most likely do their stuff.
