Works to Trees in Conservation Area

Description

Rear LHS T1 Yew Common x 1 (Taxus baccata) This 8m mature yew tree has grown unbalanced and is suppressing the trees beneath it. Suggested work: - reduce the right handside of the canopy 2.5m - reduce the height 2m and blend the right handside to make a flowing outline of canopy. Rear T8 Cherry x 1 (Prunus spp) This 16m mature cherry tree covered in ivy has been reduced in the past, but not for at least 7 years. The lateral branches are now touching the client's house. The trunk has severely damaged the boundary wall. The client is willing to rebuild the wall around the trunk, losing some of her land, in order to accommodate it. Before work begins on rebuilding the wall the trees needs reducing. This will slow root expansion and cut the growth back from the property. Suggested work: - full crown reduction - reduce the height 4.5m back to previous reduction points - reduce the lateral growth 2-3.5m back to previous reduction points, retaining shortened furnishing growth - thin internal growth by 15% - remove ivy to ground level… Data via plota.co.uk
