T2 (Quercus Robur) a selective reduction of overhanging branches and a light thinning to allow the adjacent tree better light access. Cuts could be made at suitable secondary growth points in order to reduce dominance over the neighbouring tree and allow both trees to maintain a balanced crown development. The tree current height is approx twelve meters, we would like to reduce it to ten. The current crown spread is approx eight meters, we would reduce to six.
