Courtesy of Friends of Portswood Rec: there has been some serious damage to the conifer tree near the Grosvenor Rd entrance, the lower branches were removed and scattered and the tree is now badly debarked…

We’re very sorry to report that there has been some serious damage to the conifer tree near the Grosvenor Rd entrance. Just before Christmas, the lower branches were removed and scattered. Now the tree has been badly debarked, along with a couple of the scattered logs. The damage has been reported to the Council, but it’s uncertain whether the tree will survive. If anyone knows anything about this, could you please inform us. Could you also keep an eye out for all our precious trees and report any matters of concern.
