T1: Oak Tree - Reduce crown roadside only by approx 2-3m max to re address balance of crown shape. Remove all major deadwood, epicormic growth and crown lift to 5.5m from ground level. T2 : Magnolia - Reduce hard by approx 4m as tree has become very leggy, with damage at approx 3m high from ground level on main stem. Also tree is very close to buildings.
