  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.

Horse Chestnut (T2) Crown reduction to reduce the size of the whole tree by 6m. To reduce limbs by 6m in length, removing excess weight in leading limbs to encourage growth.
