    T1 - Larch - This tree has died at the top and the lower branches are in rapid decline. Honey fungus could be the cause as it is present in the garden. It offer little amenity and has poor form. I propose removal to ground level to be replaced with a native tree more resistant to honey fungus

    T1 and T2 - Robinia - These trees are growing to large for there location. They are beginning to to cause issue for the Acers and cause excessive shading to the flower beds and summer house below. I propose a 1.5m overall crown reduction to suitable growth points on both trees. This should give the Acers in the middle a bit of room to mature.
