High Trees Main Street West Ilsley Newbury RG20 7AA
Sycamore: Restructure the tree back down to the historic cut points at approximately 12-14m above ground level. This equates to a 50% linear reduction leaving a framework for future regeneration. The spread would be reduced from approximately 20m to 10-12m. Cedar: Prune out top to encourage low growth and limit size of tree given its constrained root zone. The proposed reduction will be of the order of 1.25-1.8m, whereupon the final finished height of the tree will be approximately 5.7m to 6.25m. Bay: Remove and treat stump to inhibit regeneration Beech: Remove Apple: Restructure back to previous pruning points at approximately 2-2.5m above ground level which would be the ultimate approximate height of the tree and would constitute a reduction of approximately 2.5m to 3m.
