The tree is a corkscrew willow at the front corner of our driveway. In addition to ongoing dead-wooding, we want to reduce the crown by 50% to avoid future safety issues of low-bending branches and wind damage (see previous applications for branch removals). The tree is in generally poor condition, with continuing die-back of limbs and a much peeling bark (see photographs). Reducing its size should help to keep it healthier for longer.

The magnolia is at 165 Richmond Road but the branches overhand 167 Richmond Road and now sufficiently close (less than 1 m) to allow squirrels to jump on the roof of Richmond Road and enter the attic. We have had the roof repaired with new facias and grouting but squirrels continue to enter after jumping across from the tree. We want to prune the branches back to create a gap of about 3 m from our roof.
