  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.

  Yew Tree (T1) Crown reduction to reduce by 6m from the top. Trim new top branches by 1-2m maximum to shape into new apex. Trim sides by 1-2m maximum to tidy and shape tree to give more light and side clearance to owner's drive and access to car port. Final finished height 14m. 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. This will leave the finished height of the tree at 20 meters. Box Tree (T3) Partial crown reduction one side only. Removal of two branches at base on left hand side which are leaning over. This is to improve shape and safety should further lean occur.
