Sealed Judgement

6.4 T REE R ETENTION V ALUE C HANGE
The reinspection carried out during June and July 2024, and March 2025, included a
reconsideration of the Retention Value for some trees due to the negative impact of the vine
and natural decline. 18 trees lost their High retention value designation and 32 trees their
Medium. There was an increase of 10 trees classed as Low, and 40 additional trees were
classified as Dead since 2022. Please note that the trees that were Dead in 2022 received a
Low retention value. This is illustrated in the tables below and Appendix 4.
