    Coastal slope - north of the main garden, Various trees / management to form a future wooded garden. Selectively thin out the wooded slope area to the west of the path way down to the beach, prioritizing on the removal of non native tree species (bay, holm oak etc.) Remove other trees of poor form, such as goat willow, to benefit and give space to trees that can be allowed to mature. If/as needed give the retained trees a first formative prune (starting to make good from the 'topping' re-growth that had previously been carried out). To the east of the path, remove the bay and larger willow suppressing fruit trees.

    Redhill Farm Redhill Lane Wroxall Ventnor Isle Of Wight PO38 3ER

    T4; English Oak - Reduce lower lateral over-extending branches back to suitable growth points up to 2-3m from branch tips; remove downward growing branches to prevent further leveraging. Reason: Lower canopy has become unbalanced and leaning more towards the client's property. By reducing the large lateral limbs and removing downward growth we hope to promote re-balancing and take off some weight to prevent leveraging.
