    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%.
