    T1: 13.7 meters Lime tree - to undergo a crown reduction and thinning by 20% (2.7-meters). This tree was last worked on (approximately five years ago) and has grown back unevenly. This work will restore it towards previous cut points, leaving it healthy and balanced. The proposed work will be to maintain the appropriate size for this tree given it's proximity to the house, letting more light into the property and garden to allow other planting to thrive.
