Proposal
T1- Horse chestnut. Reduce and reshape the tree by up to 3m of existing height and spread. The tree is situated in the corner of the garden close to the house and will need to be managed as the space allocated is not sufficient for the species in question TG2- Oaks. Reduce and reshape the trees back to the previous point of pruning (removal of up to 1.5m of height and spread). The trees have routinely been managed in this manner to retain them as small specimens TG3- Holm oaks/hornbeam hedging. Trim the trees both sides and tops, back in line to the previous point of reduction, approximately up to 1m of seasonal growth. Data via plota.co.uk
