    T1 Weeping Willow Neighbour's tree over hanging boundary of rear garden. Prune all overhanging branches back to boundary line. This will require the removal of approximately 1-1.5 metres of material to achieve. However in order to retain a balanced and aesthetically pleasing shape to the tree it is suggested branches are pruned back to suitable growth points where possible or on smaller diameter branches with no suitable growth point to go back to the old pollard point, whilst retaining a balanced and flowing shape.
