Remove all ivy from tree.2. Climb the tree and remove obvious dead sections from the crown.3. Check branches within the crown that show decay/damage for decay extent, significance andpotential weakness. Where overly structurally compromised, reduce the limb to an appropriatedimension to improve safety factor.4. All pruning should aim to retain the lower crown strong epicormic shoots as a new lower crown area.5. Upper crown should be reduced in extent by a further 3m at suitable lateral branches.6. Final balancing pruning work (reduction) should take place to ensure an even density and silhouetteremains. This may include reducing the low/mid crown south limb extending over the adjacentboundary wall.7. Final tree height sound be around 1/5th lower than current dimensions at 16-17m tall.
