    1. Scots pine - fell to ground. 2. Hemlock trees, 2 adjacent - fell to ground. Trees 1&2 work proposed to reduce competition for light and nutrients with the young avenue trees, to preserve this feature. The 3 trees account for the 5 cubic meters of saleable timber we are permitted to remove per quarter. 3. 5 Yew trees to be pollarded to around 9 ft (2.7m) to prevent overshadowing avenue trees and other understory trees and plants. 4. 9 Yew trees to be pollarded to around 9 ft (2.7m) to prevent overshadowing avenue trees and other understory trees and plants. 5. Common lime - fell to ground. Due to the nature of the underground water services, the close proximity to the gas tank, and undermining of the garden wall as the tree has grown.

    Blickling Hall Blickling Road Blickling NR11 6NF

    Horse Chestnut - Crown reduce upper canopy by 5-6m. Crown reduce rear southern stem by 7-8m. Reshape the remaining crown in a proportional amount at the discretion of the arborist. Brace the lowest split limb with steel rope to ensure it remains connected to the parent stem. The tree has extensive basal decay- large coalescing cavities in the upper crown, bacterial wet wood, bacterial canker and has a history of limb loss and shedding

    Horse Chestnut - 23m in height and 4.6m wide. Use drop crotching pruning techniques to ensure as much aesthetic character of the tree is retained. Reduce the upper leaders of the crown by 5-6m. Reduce the large upright limb to the south (mid crown) by 7-8m. Reduce remaining limbs as necessary at the discretion of the arborists carrying out the work. Where necessary use conservation dead wooding techniques over the footpath (shortening- not removal) Support the cracked lowest limb with a steel cable brace, so it can be retained in situ. Please note- the pruning amounts recommended are larger than we normally specify, but in this instance because of the extent of decay, it is thought the pruning work will enable the long-term retention of the tree as well as help alleviate safety concerns.
