Description

Reduce crown of 1 x False Acacia in back garden of 28 Clanna Country Park covered by W1 of DFTPO 195 by approximately 3 metres or to nearest BS3998:2010 compliant pruning points. A medium sized branch has recently failed and landed within the garden. There are concerns that further branch failure may occur due to tight branch unions within the canopy of the tree.
