Dublin City - Official Policy For Removal of Trees - Trees are removed only when necessary as a last resort.
The criteria for tree removal are:
1 The tree is dead, dying or is considered hazardous due to its poor structural or biological condition,. Hazardous conditions may exist above and/or below ground and may include significant root, trunk or crown decay, split trunks and crotches, and large dead limbs.
2 The tree has declined beyond the point of recovery and is no longer meeting the functional or aesthetic requirements of a street tree. Typically, a tree with 30 percent or less of its foliage remaining would meet this criterion.
3 Fatally diseased trees (eg. Ash dieback, Fireblight Disease) may be removed before they reach the primary threshold in order to prevent the spread of disease to healthy trees.
4 To allow space for development of nearby trees that may be more desirable for retention
5 To allow space for new planting
6 To make way for any approved engineering or building works when unavoidable construction work will immediately compromise the stability or viability of the tree.
7 Tree proven to be causing significant structural damage that cannot be reasonably addressed by an alternative solution and proactive tree management has had no mitigating effect.
8 To abate actionable nuisance
9 The trunk of the tree is within 2m of a public lighting column and the long term viability of the tree if retained in its location would be compromised by a requirement for ongoing maintenance in order to maintain the effectiveness of the adjoining street light.
If a site where a tree was removed is suitable to support a new tree, the site may be replanted with a suitable tree species. Because the stump has to be placed on a stump removal list and sufficient time needs to elapse to allow breakdown of residual underground root material, the
process from removal to replanting may take up to 3-5 years. Replacement tree planting will only take place during the dormant season.
I feel the need to document individual trees, since seeing some beautiful ones being cut down. Yes, even some of these majestic examples. Seeing these trees, it seems right that some peoples respect trees. They DO seem to have a lot of wisdom. Let's say this is more than one hundred years old, probably more, that's a lot of experience in one being. Yes, trees do seem to concentrate a lot of life. I mean, even the simple fact that so many insects and small mammals, etc. live in this society can't be ignored. Where do all these go when the tree is chopped down?

This set of images were taken in a remote park in Osceola County and is not widely known. I only saw about one third of it but you can bet I'll go back again.
A mighty wind blew night and day
It stole the oak tree's leaves away
Then snapped its boughs and pulled its bark
Until the oak was tired and stark

Image taken just outside of the city of Cork, in Ireland. I was driving from Kerry towards Cork and saw this lonely tree emerging from the lifting fog. As the sun started to illuminate the scene I parked, grabbed my gear and went for a couple of shots. I couldn't let the moment go by without having taken some pictures of this. Regards, Tjerk
Armstrong Redwoods State Park, California
One of the reasons why redwoods live so long, we found out, is that fire only scars them and can lead to regrowth; apparently, if one tree touches another, they will also grow together.

L'albero è la famosa Roverella di Treia, l'albero più bello delle Marche.
La roverella e' un albero a foglie decidue, ma come potete notare la sua chioma a metà dicembre tratteneva ancora tutte le foglie secche! Volete sapere come mai? Cliccate sul link sottostante.

The tree is the famous Downy oak of Treia, the most beautiful tree of the Marche region (Italy).
The downy oak is a deciduous tree, but as you can see its foliage in the middle of decembre was still keeping all its dry leaves (unlike other deciduous trees). Do you want to know why? Just click the link below.

At the Flat Creek-Barnardsville-Jupiter intersection of NC197 and I-26, in an old pasture. I have photographed this tree several times earlier, and my image has been published in Asheville Greenworks "Treasured Trees" calendar. The property was sold to Volvo (heavy equipment division) a couple of years ago and re-development began. But that stalled in the economic crisis, and the land, while now eroding (remedial work has been done), is stationary for the moment. This venerable white oak has another lease on life.

Old tree line in Cumbria, One of my favourite place to walk, recharge the batteries and most importantly take some pictures.
Located at the Bristlecone Pine trail in Great Basin National Park, Nevada are the living and dead bristlecone pines that have nestled in a particular spot on Wheeler Park. This particular Bristlecone was approximately 2000 years old before it died. During that time, wind, rain, and snow twisted the base and top of this ancient pine tree. Hence the name, "Twisted."

How Can I Keep From Singing?
My life flows on in endless song;
Above earth’s lamentation
I hear the sweet though far off hymn
That hails a new creation:
Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear the music ringing;
It finds an echo in my soul—
How can I keep from singing?

Old Tree at Lake Tahoe California. Day trip around parts of the lake, beautiful area. Sept 2004

Never restored or altered, and in basically the same condition as when it was built in the 1840's. I would imagine the tin roof replaced an earlier cedar or cypress shake roof in the later 19th century.

It looks better :-)
This was a great place for a brake. For sitting down and for doing nothing. Only thinking, dreaming, listening to the wonderful nature around. Can you imagine?

Platano del Piccioni (altrimenti detto Albero del Piccioni). E' l'albero più grande delle Marche. Il nome gli deriva dal fatto che secondo le dicerie popolari al tempo dell'annessione delle Marche al Regno d'Italia (1808, per volontà di Napoleone) nel suo tronco cavo vi si nascose il brigante Giovanni Piccioni, capo dei rivoltosi che avversavano tale decisione.
Io sono proprio di fianco all'albero.
Più riporto dimensioni ed età di questo albero monumentale.

Platano (plane tree) del Piccioni (otherwise known as Tree of Piccioni). This is the largest tree of the Marche region. This name is due to the fact that according to popular hearsays at the time of annexation of the Marche region to the Italian Kingdom X(1808, by Napoleon's wills), in his hollow trunk was hiding the bandit Giovanni Piccioni, chief of the rebels which were opposing to this decision.
I am just beside the tree.
Below I report size and age of this monumental tree.
