1 x evergreen manolia (front): Reduce the height and overall radial canopy spreads by a maximum of 1m. This will enable a maximum clearance of 1.5m is to be achieved between the outer western canopy and the property frontage. The retained canopy should measure no less than 3m to the north and south and 2.5m to the east and west. Trim the underside of the canopy to create a clearance height of 2.5m over the surrounding gardens and public highway. Crown thin the inner canopy by 10% to achieve an even density of foliage.
