Description

rear of no.38 T1 Lime x 1 (Tilia spp) This 20m mature lime tree has previously been reduced but not for many years, missing several pruning cycles. The regrowth is encroaching upon the neighbouring properties and cutting a lot of light out from the gardens. Suggested work: - crown reduction - reduce back to most recent reduction points, retaining shortened furnishing growth, equating to a height reduction of 4m, a lateral reduction of 2.5-3.5m- retaining 50% of fine branch structure rear of no.38 T2 Holm Oak (Evergreen) x 1(Quercus ilex) This 6m mature holm oak is being suppressed by T1 and has grown lopsided, with a limb growing out over no.40's garden. Suggested work:- crown reduction - reduce overextended stems over no.40 by 3m - reduce remaining crown 1-3m to shape and balance the canopy, creating a natural outline
