    T1 - Hornbeam: Raise lower branches over rear boundary hedge to approximately 4m from ground level (fgl). Reduce lower mid crown by approximately 1.5m to lessen end weight loading. H1 - Hornbeam: As part of a future ease of maintenance program it is recommended that the regrowth is topped to approximately 3m fgl near to points of previous pruning. This action should bring the height down to a point where it will be possible to maintain on a regular basis via hedge trimming from large step ladders. Side profiles will also be trimmed/reduced to form a template to trim to in future. H2 - Mixed broadleaf: As part of a future ease of maintenance program it is recommended that the regrowth is topped to approximately 3m fgl near to points of previous pruning. This action should bring the height down to a point where it will be possible to maintain on a regular basis via hedge trimming from large step ladders. Side profiles will also be trimmed/reduced to form a template to trim to in future. T2 - Plum: Remove tree to approximately 50mm fgl. T3- Hornbeam: Reduce lower mid crown branches that have previously been reduced, back to boundary line. Selectively reduce slender longer branches over the neighbourig property to suitable points of pruning to reduce likelihood on failure from end weight on branches with poor thickness ratio and taper.

    T3 - Walnut: The tree has become extremely big and puts our whole garden and the neighbors garden in shade. The branches are also starting to get quite low, with walnuts falling from the tree on a frequent bases. We would be looking at reducing the height and thinning out the lower branches. Current height is 17-18m, proposed reduction to 13-14m whilst reducing the lateral by 2m to keep tree in proportion.
