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.
