Description

A large lime tree (tilia sp.) that has previously been managed by our regular tree surgeon through crown reduction, the last such being done 10-15 years ago. He has advised that we should now repeat the same treatment, crown reduction, to approximately the same cut points as last time. It is intended to carry out the works while the tree is dormant this winter
