Proposal
Tree Number- T1 Tree Species- Weeping willow (Salix babylonica) Height- 16m Lateral Spread-14m Approx DBH-0.65m Work Required: Reduce height by up to 4m and lateral spread on all sides by up to 3m, cutting to suitable growth points, to finished crown dimensions of 12m height and 8m lateral spread. Reason: The tree has had 2 large failures over a 2-year period, losing 2 main scaffold limbs approximately 6m in length. Evidence of heaving also present to the west.
