  REAR GARDEN T1 (Ash tree) and T2 (Hornbeam) are to be reduced by approx. 25-30% to suitable growth points. Both trees are large for their locations in a domestic garden and a reduction of approx. 25-30% to suitable growth points will help to control the size of the trees for their location and will allow more light into surrounding gardens
