Council sourceDescription: Crown reduce by 1-2 metres ensuring that reduction cuts are to a strong shoot of at least one third of the diameter of the parent limb. Where reduction points are required on limbs with decay, the reduction may need to be up to 3 metres ensuring that weight is reduced to take account of the risk but still pruned to a good growth point. The work should ensure that an aesthetically pleasing crown profile is achieved. (Superceded Spec - T1 Birch- Reduce upper crown by 2-3 metres and lower by 1-2 metres ensuring that a natural-looking crown profile is achieved) .
