11 St Andrews Road Exeter EX4 2AA

T1 - Silver Birch: - Lowest North West primary branch growing towards No.13: Shorten back by 1.5 metres. Diameter cut size of 2-3inches. Reasons: To increase the light in this area, without affecting the vigour of the tree. - 2 specified vertical North East leading stems (photo provided): Shorten back by 3 metres (3-4 inch diameter cut size). The areas to be pruned are the both overhanging the road, and zebra crossing. Reasons: The two areas observed have higher lever arms than other areas of the crown. Movement of the stems in light winds indicate a requirement for reducing the weight and sail effect. They overhang the road and zebra crossing, and so there is a higher risk to the public.

Glencoe Lyndhurst Road Exeter EX2 4PA

T1 - Beech - Reduce the height by 2.5 metres, and shorten back the sides by approx. 1-1.5 metres, to leave a balanced form. Reasons for work - Health and safety factors. The tree has been randomly dropping branches where residents regularly walk. The thinning crown makes it more likely for the tree to deteriorate further and continue shedding branches. - Reduction work is likely to affect the vigour of the tree to some degree. Wounds can take longer to heal, and sun scorch can affect the bark when there is less leaf cover. However, the surrounding trees provide a degree of protection in this case. - Diameter cut sizes should be limited to 9-12cm topping cuts, and 6 cm lateral branch cuts. Natural target pruning should be practiced. 2nd to 3rd order growth should be pruned where possible, and cuts made no greater than a third diameter of the parent branch.
