Proposal
Sessile Oak (T32) - Reduce the height down from 17m by 5m to 12m, or where suitable, for a reduction of 5m. This is due to the two fungi at the base on the southeast side of the tree as well as the compromised buttress in the same area. Reduce the north side laterally from 5.5m by 3m to 2m to help reduce end weight, sail and load due to the compromised buttress on the southeast side of the tree. Sessile Oak (T31, T29, T28, T27) - Thin reduction by 25% points to reduce the load on the reduction points and facilitate better growth and crown morphology in the future. This will keep the crown at roughly the same size, but reduce the sail area of the crown and thus the load on the reduction points. English Oak (T25) - Crown reduction of 1m to keep crown to size and promote new growth.
