  Beech at rear of garden has a couple of low branches that shade our greenhouse. See enclosed photo from branches in question. We would like to remove these branches using services of a tree surgeon.We will use David Cottrell who has much experience. The larger of the two branches is approx 15cm in diameter and the amount proposed to be removed is very small percentage of the entire tree. We would like to do this because at present our greenhouse cannot be used to grow things in the summer months as is too shady.
