This will allow the tree to start again and become move upright than outward and overhanging as present. To bring the tree back to good growth points around where the tree forks out from the trunk, leaving it at around a 5 meter height.T2/ T3 -Conifer and Self set Popular. Remove to ground level to avoid overcrowding.T4 -Beech. This is a small Beech which is struggling against competition. To tidy up the tree by reducing a few outward limbs to re-shape the tree and removed dead wood/ crossing branches. The tree is mis- shaped as growing in the canopy of other mature trees, its is obvious which branches need reducing to bring back into shape.T5 -Popular. This tree is getting very tall and the client is worried about it falling over and landing on the house as it is sat up on the bank. To reduce the risk of the tree falling over would like to reduce the tree by around one third at a maximum to suitable pruning point. This should avoid opening up too large a cut in the main stem and reduce too much epicormic. The tree currently sites at around 17 meters tall, will be looking to reduce and leave at around 13 meters tall.
