T9 (Oak) Reduce canopy back to the previous pruning points. Following completion, the tree would have an overall height of approximately 16m, and the crown would have an approximate radial spread of 4 metres (north), 3 metres (east), 6 (south) and 6 metres (west). Remove epicormic growth extending over the garden. Remove deadwood over footpath. By pruning back to the existing reduction points, the works will maintain the tree within its established management regime and maintain its size and form appropriate to its environment. Removal of epicormic growth on the garden side will increase the usable garden space beneath the canopy.
