T1. Blue Atlas Cedar Rear Garden: The tree is significantly one-sided, largely as a result of a historic limb failure. The two lowest southeast-facing branches now overwhelmingly contribute to the tree's overall balance and visual weight. Recommended Works: Carefully prune the two lowest southeast-facing branches to lighten and thin the canopy. Selectively reduce over-extended growth by up to 2.5m, with further thinning as necessary, to help redistribute weight, improve balance, and enhance the tree's overall aesthetic. The work will also reduce end-weight loading and mitigate risk of further limb failure. Remove dead branches throughout the crown area that are over 2.5cm in diameter, and inspect the crown for any adverse conditions. The tree's current height is 21m, and its crown spread is 15m After the proposed works, the tree's height is 21m, and the crown spread is 15m
