    T001: Poplar - Sectional fell to ground level, the young specimen is rooted in rock face & growing at a 45 degree angle to the west. Surrounded by multiple other mixed species specimens with little future prospects due to growth pattern. T002: Indian Bean - Crown reduction by approximately 2m from branch tips, the specimen is rooted among multiple mixed species specimens. A neighbouring Indian Bean, located approximately 3-4m to the east has recently been reduced (within the last 2 years), the reduction is to bring this specimen to the same height as it's neighbour & to allow increased light to surrounding trees and shrubs. T003: Drimys - Crown height reduction by approximately 3m, back to previous pruning points, this specimen is located adjacent to patio/seating area & regenerative growth is now causing excessive shading & blocking the view over the estuary from the property

Pollard points pose weak points. T4: Sycamore - Reduce crown height by approximately 4 metres to previous pollard points. (as above but not so much a shading issue but a weak union issue)
