    T1 - Poplar, reduce height 4m to reduce sail effect of crown and suppress maturity, defect on rear of the trunk could potentially be a weakening factor, and there is a school adjacent. Although fundamentally the trunk damage is a fully healed and compartmentalised scar from the past. T2 - Oak, crown lift on the building side to 5m for light to get into the garden beneath, limbs have become very pendulous.
