Council sourceDescription: T1 Pine - Remove dead wood, T2 Pine - Remove dead wood and hanging branches, T3 Pine - Remove dead wood, T4 Pine - Remove dead wood, T5 Pine - Main stem divides at approx. 1m above ground level. Sub-dominant stem on south-western side extends laterally over access road. Our intention is to carry out an end weight reduction on the lateral growth on sub-dominant stem by approx.1.5 to 2m. T6 Pine - Main stem divides at approx. 6m above ground level. Dominant leader of westerly stem has been heavily reduced in the past leaving lateral secondary growth extending over access road. Our intention is to carry out a end weight reduction of the westerly stem by approx. 2 to 2.5m. Also to remove major dead wood over access road. T7 Pine - Main stem leans slightly to the west. Our intention is to carry out an end weight reduction to the lower south-western limb by up to approx. 2 to 2.5m to lessen the effects of torsional stress on the main stem.
