Proposal
T1- Mulberry: Reduce in height by approximately 50%, cutting back to suitable pollard points to achieve a finished height of around 4 metres. All deadwood will be removed. The works are proposed because the tree has outgrown the small courtyard garden, and reducing it back to pollard points will make it more manageable for future maintenance while allowing it to be retained at a suitable height.
