Proposal

Elm in rear garden - tree stands approximately 16m tall with a crown width on all sides of 8 to 8.5m from crown centre. My recommendation for a reduction specification would be as follows. Reduce the height by up to 3m. Reduce sides by 2 to 2.5m. Reduce the 2 limbs on the lower crown on the Eastern and Western aspect by approximately 4 to 4.5m to aid with achieving a more uniform crown. After the work, there would be a residual height of approximately 13m and a crown width from centre of 6 to 6.5m. Data via plota.co.uk
