    Riverside House, Waterstock, Oxford, OX33 1JT

    T1 - Crack Willow T2 - Weeping Willow T3 - Sycamore T4 - Ash T5 - Sycamore T1 - Crack Willow - concern over perceived movement, leverage on the annually submerged bank and potentially the obstruction of the river during periods in the winter, the cost of removal from the river after failure during annual flooding/saturation would also be excessive. Fell to near ground level and burn all of the arisings on the island. T2 - Weeping Willow - significant stress rib formation. Reduce to create a pollard effect, removing approximately 4m to decrease leverage and the likelihood of failure into the river and ove the original manor wall. T3 - Sycamore - significant damage over the garden wall and throughout the crown. Crown clean, reducing as required branches which are damaged in excess of 30% of the circumference of the branch and removing those branches which are damaged in excess of 60% of their circumference. T4 - Ash - remove six primary branches and one large secondary branch to provide clearance over the adjacent cherry and garden. T5 - Sycamore - encroaching on the pool area over the garden wall. Crown reduce the section of the canopy which extends towards the garden wall by 2m and reshape, removing no more than 3m from any one branch. Remarks:
