Description

Back Garden T001 - Olive Reduce overall crown by up to 1 metre, shaping and balancing accordingly. T002 - Cherry Lightly reduce to shape and balance. Works to both trees are for general upkeep and maintenance. Would also maintain them at a smaller size in an already overcrowded garden. Works would not be detrimental nor affect their amenity value.
