T5- Yew- Shorten the 2 errant stems on the shed side to 2m high. The fastigiate nature of this tree has already formed bushy upright regrowth at this point, and this pruning will enable the fastigiate form to re-establish. T4- Yew- Crown lift 3 minor twigs of diameter under 1 inch, on the West side, to allow passage past more easily. T3- Yew- Shorten 2 high straggly branches that extend well out of the general shape of the crown, lending an untidy appearance. (East side). 4m reduction in length of the longest, and 2m reduction of the other. All this work will help keep these trees as good specimens, with an attractive shape.
