    RETROSPECTIVE -This is a retrospective notice of trimming the branches from conifer trees overhanging our garden but presenting as brown which we were advised could be down to lack of sunlight or airflow or possibly disease. We took off the brown branches in the hope it is down to lack of light and airflow and not disease and hopefully the trees will be saved. He also trimmed the branches from 2 smaller trees but they are smaller than the 75cm trunk stated, but these are now growing and are now very healthy, which they were not before.
