CHERRY TREE : We'd like to remove 3 metres, back to previous pruning points. SYCAMORE TREE 1 : we would like to completely remove this invasive tree. The roots will affect our neighbour's garden structure, and ours. SYCAMORE TREE 2 : we would like to completely remove this invasive tree. This has one main truck, split into two. We hope to replace Sycamore 2 with a more useful tree (perhaps an apple). We have talked this through with Nick Sharp of https://www.treesgardensestates.co.uk/
