  10 x Fruit trees There are 10 fruit trees that we propose to prune. The gentle pruning to which I referred would equate to no more than 1 metre reduction in the canopy and the removal of any dead wood. The fruit trees in the orchard are managed purely for the fruit for our own use. There has never been any commercial gain nor will there be in the future. Remarks:

  Henley College Deanfield Avenue Henley-on-thames RG9 1UH

  Ash (T2 of TPO 09/2019) - Reduce back crown over single storey block D4 by a maximum of 4m at its widest point (work mainly relates to over extended limbs over roof). Reduce back low branches over the roof to create 3m clearance. Cutback branches from front of the adjacent building (D6) to create 2-3m clearance. To help balance the crown, reduce remaining crown by approx. 2m. To avoid altering the balance of the tree as a whole, the crown of the tree should be reduced in proportion to its original shape. All pruning cuts must be made at branch junctions, leaving sufficient live growth to maintain or enhance crown form.
