- Oct 2025Tree WorksTreesIn report
Rear T1 London Plane x 1 (Platanus x hispanica) This 22m mature London plane tree is located in the small rear garden surrounded by neighbouring wooden fences. The tree has previously been cut back on the building side only, but not for some time. The regrowth is now touching the tv aerial and towering over the roof. In addition, the regrowth on the building side cuts out sunlight to the garden. Suggested work: - cut back from building to previous reduction points, roughly 4m. This affects only the mid-canopy, and not the height of top edge of canopy - remove lower trunk epicormic growth
