Proposal
T1: Willow: Photo 2605B. Reduce overall height by reducing/removing the two biggest central branches, either back to suitable unions, as marked, or back to original pollard point. Percentage of tree removed: approx less than 5%. T2/3: Pair of Crab-apples: Photos 2605C and 2605D. Reduce overall height - cut back epicormic growth to previous pruning point. Also, a very small crown raise, removing maybe 1-2 of the lowest branches, to allow better visibility for cars turning out of the drive onto the main road. Percentage of tree removed: approx 5-10%. This is clearly a repeat of work which has been done regularly, to keep these ornamental trees down to a reasonable height, as they are adjacent to the road. T4: Cherry: Photo 2605E. Reduce overall height and spread by selective removal of upper limbs, and by reducing limb currently encroaching on adjacent Pear tree. Percentage of tree removed: approx 5-10%. T5: Small Pear: Photo 2605F. Remove/reduce minimum of branches to rebalance it, once encroaching Cherry has been reduced. Percentage of tree removed: minimal, approx less than 5%. T6: Cytisus battandieri: Photo 2605G: remove/shorten the lowest main branch, to remove weight from the road side: and then to reduce the overall height by shortening the indeterminate leader to a suitable union. Percentage of tree removed: approx around 10-15%… Data via plota.co.uk
