Well, tree climbed and a fair bit of poking about done.
Phytophtora is almost definitely the main cause of the rapid decline,
cankers, cambium dysfunction, etc. but closer to the unions of the main
scaffold limbs and the trunk as opposed to at ground level.
Nice morning for a bit of Tarzanesque climbing about, leopard skin print
climbing harnesses anyone?

Subject: Rapid decline of Aesculus
Morning all
Just a quick asides for you. On Monday morning I had a meeting with a
local Vicar to discuss the removal of a completely fecked Aesculus hipp
in his churchyard, carried out the usual vis inspection of other trees
(full inspection took place earlier this year), no major nightmares just
the usual for trees of that particular age and type.
Now then, went back yesterday to oversee the fell, and one of the
nearish trees (another Aesculus hipp) has curled up its toes and looks
pretty much on the way to meeting its maker. All leaves on two thirds of
the crown have become completely chlorotic, no visible evidence of
sporophores, rhizomorphs, Bleeding Canker, Phytophora, Guignardia, etc.
This tree stands on the boundary of the churchyard and there is no
evidence whatsoever of any nefarious actions of any kind.
Early autumn? Perhaps, but on only one tree (and only part of the
crown)?
"Curiouser and curiouser"
4 days for complete decline, god that's quick!
