Several of the unions are questionable as well due to previous poor work. Recomend a 3.5m crown reduction to suitable growth points where possible.

(1) Ash - fell. (Right in front of the lime protected by Tree Preservation Order number 08/02). The tree has a large cavity from which the central stem is growing (see accompanying photos and diagram). There are no suitable growth points to reduce the tree to without effectively pollarding it. As this would completely change the appearance of the tree and spoil the aesthetics of the garden (and considering the large number of other trees nearby (and next to it)) we feel it is best to remove it completely. (2) Holly - Fell (leaving sucker stem from base to form new tree). This tree has a thinning canopy and the Greens would like to remove it to allow the sucker growth to replace it (hopefully with denser foliage)
