    Catalpa (T3) - reduce size of canopy by 2 metres (from 4 to 2 metres spread away from main stem in all directions), back to suitable growth points. White Ash (T4) - remove 3 secondary stems as per photograph from left hand stem, reduce by 1m and thin thorugh max 20% where necessary. This is to reduce the sense of enclosure in this part of the garden as the tree has now grown right over the grassed area into the canopy of a neighbouring Whitebeam. Prunus spp. (T5) - reduce width of the canopy (across the back boundary with Blackheath High School Sports Ground) by up to 1 metre in both directions and thin crown by 20%.

    WHITEHOUSE, 34B FOYLE ROAD, LONDON, SE3 7RH

    The very large white popular (Populus alba) has a large limb growing over the property roof. The end of the limb has a large rot pocket it and the rotten centre has fallen out nearly hitting the residents child playing under the tree. There is still a lot of growth and weight on the end of the limb and there is a very strong fear the limb may fail either damaging the property or hitting the residents child playing of family in the driveway. I strongly suggest the limb is reduced by around 2mtrs back to sound wood again to eliminate the risk of future snap outs. As this work is extremely high priority can I request it on a 5 day emergency decision.

    Fell Olive tree in raised front garden very close to the side wall of the garage. A structural surveyor noted that the root system of the tree is pushing against this wall, and has caused cracks to appear, and indicated that the removal of this tree is necessary to preserve the wall from further damage.
