T1 - Lime. To establish a managed pollard framework on this early mature lime, primary scaffold branches are proposed to be reduced to a uniform height (approximately 5 metres above ground level), creating a balanced pollard head structure. Final pruning cuts will be positioned just above suitable lateral growth points, retaining sufficient live crown to maintain physiological function and minimise stress. Works will be undertaken in accordance with BS 3998:2010. The intention is for the tree to be managed on a regular cyclical pollarding regime thereafter to maintain structural stability and its intended landscape function.

T1. Hazel (Corylus avellana) in NE corner of garden. Action: coppice and allow to re-grow, establishing a regular coppicing cycle. Reason: this large multi-stemmed tree has been allowed to grow unchecked for too long and is shading-out nearby trees plus extending too close to an outbuilding. T2. Cherry (Prunus avium) in NE corner of garden next to T1. Action: fell and kill stump with herbicidal EcoPlugs. Reason: this is a self-seeded tree growing from the foundations of one of our outbuildings, and will eventually cause serious problems if left to continue growing.
