Proposal

T1 - Ash - To remove the lowest limb from the Ash stem with a large lean to the North East (over the neighbouring access road) and remove major deadwood. The leaning stem will also be reduced by 2.5m to reduce the end weight and leverage on the possibly weak union. All branches will be pruned to appropriate growth points. All works are carried out to BS 3998: 2010 Tree work recommendations. A well balanced shape must be maintained. Data via plota.co.uk
