    T1 Weeping Willow - The tree has a large split in main stem with decay running down to the base. The tree is heavily waited and has a dramatic lean in the opposite direction to the split in the main stem (see attached pictures). The area is used by people and children on occasions. The church would like to retain the tree and by reducing heavily by up to 50% as this it will prolong its life expectancy.

    REAR: ONE Ash (T1)(ht:18m, rs:17m): CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by 4m from 18m to 14m, REDUCE RADIUS by 7m from 17m to 10m, South Eastern laterals are particularly weight loaded so a slightly heavier reduction is required; Reason: Reduction to shape canopy, pruning to suitable points and maintaining natural aesthetic, where possible; other lower limbs are very weight loaded and will be prone to failure; there is also major die back in the crown and two lower laterals hence the reason for the heavy reduction; the pruning will bring the canopy back to healthy growth and reduce the risk of future incidents for neighboring properties; the tree will tolerate the pruning as specified above. Informative A: The sensitive management of the tree for urban greening benefits is greatly appreciated.
