Proposal
Front T1 silver birch x 1 (betula pendula /alba) the main stem of this silver birch has died leaving the tree with an unsymmetrical shape. It is also growing towards the property. Suggested work: Remove dead wood and shape reduce the remaining crown all round by 1-2m to re-shape. Rear T2 holm oak (evergreen) x 1 (quercus ilex) this tree has previously been reduced as part of subsidence management. It is now due to be maintained once again. Suggested work: Reduce to the previous points of reduction approx 1-2m, leaving enough foliage to leave a nice shape. Rear T3 yew common x 1 (taxus baccata) this yew tree has a climbing rose frowning through it and it is starting to effect the growth of the tree. Suggested work: Remove the rose and reduce the remaining tree by up to 1.5m to create a uniform shape. Data via plota.co.uk
