This large beech tree unfortunately failed due to extensive rot in the stem caused by Inonotus hispidus. Essentially eating away at the heart wood causing stem failure. Luckily this was in a wooded car park with nobody around. The tree was safely removed by anchoring into the healthy stem and a secondary line in a neighbouring Lime tree. We pulled the stem over using a Winch. All wood was kept on site and woodchip utilised for weed supression.

What is Inonotus Hispidus?

Inonotus hispidus is a fungus and a plant pathogen that is commonly known as shaggy bracket. It has been used in eastern Asia as a remedy for various illnesses such as cancer, diabetes and stomach ailments. It grows on the stems and branches of several broad-leaved trees, especially ash, apple, plane and walnut. It causes a white rot decay that weakens the heartwood of the trees. The fruiting bodies are bracket-shaped and have a hairy upper surface that is brown to orange-gold in color. They exude a yellowish liquid on the underside and blacken in autumn.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Aston and his colleague arrived on time, and were very professional, and did a very good job.  Always checking the amount to cut back before proceeding.  They did an excellent job of tiding up the cuttings on the ground.  Other gardeners have not been so thorough. I would certainly use them again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kiwi Tree and Hedge Services attended our property on 5 August 2026 to trim a large and dying Saphora Japonica and to cut back a lane edge and very overgrown hedge.  They carried out an excellent job, arriving on time, working efficiently throughout and tidying thoroughly on completion.  It was a pleasure to have them here and we are extremely pleased with the result and will have them back for a further job soon.

Prompt replies and communication, turned up on time and did an excellent job with the tree in our garden. Completely professional and couldn’t believe how quickly they got it all done. No mess was left behind either, everything was taken away. Will recommend them to anyone!
