    T1 - Holm Oak 1) Lowest primary branch, with predominantly lateral extension growing towards the house (refer to photo) - Prune back the lateral extension by up to 15%, cut size on tertiary growth up to 75mm. Reasons: To improve light conditions within the house, whilst carrying out the minimum of pruning, and preventing a negative impact on the vigour and health of the tree. 2) Twin forked lateral branches (refer to photo) growing over the neighbours property: Prune back the lateral extension by up to 15%, or the previous growth points (whichever is a lesser amount to remove), cut size on tertiary growth up to 75mm. Reasons: To improve light conditions to the neighbours garden, whilst carrying out the minimum of pruning, and preventing a negative impact on the vigour and health of the tree. This branch has been pruned within the last 5 years, so the growth removed will be fairly minimal. 3) Lowest primary branch growing over the bowling club (refer to photo): Crown lift by 1 metre, cut size on tertiary growth up to 75mm. Reasons: To increase light access to the garden through the bottom of the canopy.
