Reduction to shape canopy, pruning to suitable points and maintaining natural aesthetic.Work undertaken to bring back to form and improve light conditions for both owner and neighboring properties. Tree has been reduced previously so work is part of an ongoing maintenance cycle. The pruning will not go beyond any previous points and sufficient time has elapsed to allow canopy regrowth. The tree will tolerate the pruning as specified above.Apple (T3) - fell, height of 4m.Tree is showing signs of dieback in the canopy and has a large cavity in the main stem with less than 20% holding wood remaining. It is not a good specimen and it is felt that although a crown reduction will help keep green cover it will not be a good long term solution. Work undertaken to prevent any health & safety issues in the future. A native species will be planted as a replacement.Willow (T4) - crown reduceReduce height by 4m from 9m to 5m. Reduce lateral spread by 4m from 9m to 5m.
