Monkey Puzzle (T1), dead standing specimen - Fell to ground level and remove stump with a mechanised stump grinder, to allow space and suitable ground for replanting in its place. Field Maple (T2) - Light crown reduction of up to 0.5metres in all directions and thin by 20% to tidy form and provide clearance from driveway. Cherry (T3), tree is in decline. Lots of epicormic regrowth and evidence of extensive retrenchment. - Fell to ground level. There is a small, self-set Cherry growing within this area, which is healthy and will proudly take place of the dying specimen. Willow (T4), multi-stemmed specimen with included unions at ground level which are separating. - Remove x2 broken branches, and reduce the length of the western limb by up to 2.5metres to a suitable growth point, to reduce the weight and therefore mitigate further stem separation.
