Derwoodii is a pretty experienced arb guy, and have given you some good advice.Thanks all. The tree is standing pretty straight but the ground is sloping towards the house (the photos are taken from next to the house, that's just a cubby in in the photo). I'm wondering if the tree is more likely to fall towards the house given the slope of the land or if it's more dependent on wind direction?
Also is it possible to partly chop the tree, or would this kill it, e.g. remove the top half of the tree so if it fell it wouldn't fall on the house? I'm guessing this wouldn't be a recommended option if we do need to cut it - it should be all or nothing?
That is all very helpful, thanks very much. I will get in touch with a local arborist, whether it's a full or part chop it definitely needs some attention!
