Proposal

T1; Aesculus hippocastanum (located next to a garage) - Lower limb reduced back to the first growth point. To create a clearance between the structure and prevent a large wound next to the stem. The limb growing towards the driveway entrance is becoming co- dominant therefore, this limb will be reduced by 30% back to good growth points, no greater than 1/3 of the adjacent pruning cut. The remaining tree will be reduced 20% to form a natural balanced tree shape, while incorporating a 10% thin with a crown clean and removing branches touching BT lines going through the tree canopy.
