  T1 - Plum: crown reduction/lifting because of excessive growth, damage to the boundary fences and impact on other trees/shrubs in the surrounding area. The tree has grown significantly in recent years and has now become straggly and unbalanced. Description of planned work: Crown reduction: branch reduction by 4m. The current spread is 10.2m. The proposed spread will be 6m which includes the removal of the low branch which is pushing the boundary fence down and is an off shoot at ground level of the main tree. Crown lifting: removal of lower branches to a height of 2 to 2.5m above ground level
