Rear T1- Japanese pagoda tree x 1 This 12m mature Japanese pagoda tree with a canopy spread of 16m has been reduced previously, but not for several years. The tree has outgrown its location and requires its cyclical prune. Suggested work: - crown reduction - reduce the height 1.5-2m - reduce the lateral growth 2-3m to suitable growth points - lift edge of canopy to 5m all round (this will allow more sunlight onto the lawn and flowers beds)
