THE ELMS Elm Grove, Alderley Edge, Cheshire East, SK9 7PD Data via plota.co.uk
Description
T1 Oak - Reduce in height by 2.5-3 metres and prune side laterals by 1.5-2 metres to balance (paying particular attention to limbs over the neighbouring property at the rear. Remove deadwood 3cm+ in diameter. Reason – The tree is showing signs of considerable decline. The reduction of the crown is to reduce the branch structure of the tree back to live growth and encourage retrenchment growth within the crown. The work is also aimed at reducing the risk of any falling limbs within the garden of The Elms and the garden at the rear. T2 Sycamore – Sectional dismantle to as close to ground level as possible. Reason - Heavily suppressed by the main trees in the group. The tree is also creating pressure against the supporting column of the wall which is only likely to increase as the tree increases in size and girth. Data via plota.co.uk
