It is recommended that the trees canopy by reduce canopy by 20%, to help to reconcentrate health growing within the centre of the tree, opposed to the otter tips which are dying back. 2. Remove deadwood. 3. Remove epicormic growth from the base of the tree to tidy up and avoid regeneration of shoots ? not viable in this location.
