Description

T1 - Pine - Fell Reason - The tree exhibits a significant and pronounced phototropic or structural lean towards the south/southwest, extending directly over the primary access driveway. our client has noticed that the tree is leaning more and more over time and would like to remove it. They are surrounded by many other mature trees in the garden, so removing this one wont affect the property's aesthetic.
