Princes House, Mill Hill Road, London, SW13 0HR
T1 Copper Beech (Fagus sylvatica purpurea) Specification: Reduce the crown by approximately 2 metres in all aspects, taking all new growth back to the previous reduction points, leaving a finished height of approximately 8 metres and a finished radial spread of approximately 4.5 metres. Selectively thin the internal crown and remove major deadwood together with any crossing or rubbing branches. Justification: The proposed works form part of a cyclical management programme. The tree has previously been reduced and has since produced vigorous regrowth. Returning the crown to the previous reduction points will maintain an appropriate size and balanced crown form, reduce end weight on elongated branches, improve light penetration and airflow, and remove defective growth whilst preserving the tree's long-term health and amenity value in accordance with BS3998:2010. T2 & T3 Silver Birch (Betula pendula) Specification: Reduce the height of both trees by approximately 2 metres and reduce the radial spread by approximately 1–1.5 metres, leaving a finished height of approximately 7 metres and a finished radial spread of approximately 2.5 metres. Selectively thin the internal crowns and remove major deadwood from both trees. Justification:The proposed works form part of routine cyclical tree maintenance. The trees have become large for their location and the proposed reduction will maintain a balanced crown, reduce end weight on the branch structure and improve light penetration to the property and garden. Selective crown thinning will increase airflow through the canopy whilst the removal of major deadwood will improve the trees' structural condition and reduce the likelihood of branch failure. The works will retain the natural form, health and amenity value of both trees in accordance with BS3998:2010 – Tree Work – Recommendations.
