2 Hardwicke Court Llandaff Cardiff CF5 2LB
Oak, rear garden (TPO) Crown raise above highway to 5.5m and all round to balance. Remove epicormic suckers on main stem to main branch break. Reduce back minor (60mm diameter ) branch growing over house to obvious suitable point retaining flowing branch line. There is some 60-100mm crossing branches just above the historic lightning strike point, central in the tree (see photos) that we may be able to remove subject to climbers appraisal when in tree, I feel the minor branch could be removed depending on how much rubbing has deformed the bigger branch this may need some weight reduction work. Remove any unstable deadwood over 20mm in diameter.
