Suggested work: - full crown reduction - reduce the height by 3m - reduce the lateral growth by 1-2m to balance canopy - remove deadwood Rear T3 Silver Birch x 1 (Betula pendula /alba)The 18m mature silver birch has been reduced previously, cyclical prune now due. Suggested work: - full crown reduction - reduce the height by 3m - reduce the lateral growth by 1.5-2m leaving furnishing growth - thin internally by 15% Rear T4 California Lilac x 1 (Ceanothus spp) This ceanothus is being suppressed by T3. Suggested work: - reduce 1-2m to balance crown - remove deadwood Rear T5 Weeping Silver Birch (Betula pendula x 1 'Tristis') Cut back from neighbour gutter Rear T6 Cockspur Thorn x 1 (Crataegus crus-X galli) - Reduce 1-2m all round to balance crown - remove deadwood Rear T7 Leyland Cypress x 2 Cupressocyparis leylandii)These cypress trees are growing into T1 and T2 and cutting out a significant amount of light from the garden. They have not previously been pruned. We recommend reducing them now before they grow to dominate that corner of the garden and cannot be reduced significantly without killing them. Suggested work: - reduce the height by 3.5m - reduce the lateral growth by 1.5-2m ensuring tree remains green all round
