Tree surgeons in York
The walled city - a large conservation area across the centre and suburbs, and one of the most tree-protected cities in England.
Local tree notes
What's different about York's trees
- Much of central York sits in a conservation area: trees over 75mm trunk diameter need six weeks' notice to the council before work, and TPOs are widespread.
- Cutting a protected tree without consent is a criminal offence with fines up to £20,000 - the highest-profile legal risk for tree work in North Yorkshire.
- City-centre plane and lime trees cope with pollution and compaction but need regular crown work; riverside trees on the Ouse and Foss are flood-exposed.
- Storm-damage calls are frequent in the winter months across the city's older suburbs.
