Hi Dianne,

One of the other arborists has Emailed me direct and asked that I clarify
that cutting roots is not an OK practice but rather a last resort practice.

Before cutting any roots the opinion of an arborist should be sought as to
its impact on the trees health and stability. It can be a problem but as we
agree it would be a shame to see the tree go.
