    T1 - Mature Silver Birch - This tree is in good health. It is however becoming to large for where it is situated. Complaints have been raised by several neighbors about light and dropping branches, in particular 10 Ashen green. I propose a 3.5m reduction in height and 1.5m of the sides to suitable growth points.
