    T1 Bay Tree - This vigorous shrub is excessively shading the garden and having a detrimental effect on surrounding vegetation. All roundcrown reduction (see photo 1) leaving no more than 4m in height and 3m in diameter. Retain domed shape to crown where possible. Thisshould be followed by annual pruning to maintain it at a reasonable height for a small garden.T2 Acacia - There are 2 large branches overhanging the garden which are also contributing to excessive shading (photo 2 and photo 3) andhaving a detrimental effect on other planting. These should be removed. Such pruning will make the tree more resistant to extreme weatherevents and could therfore help increase its useful working life.
