View council mapT73 Copper Beech - Reduce Crown by approximately 10m in height and 5-6m in spread to reduce the length of scaffold limbs sufficiently, so as not to reach the adjacent buildings should they fail. This will greatly reduce the load at the weakpoint and allow the tree to remain standing as a framework pollard.T74 Cedar of Lebanon - Shorten all steams by approximately 6m to reduce the sail area and load. This will still retain a large amount of healthy foliage from which new growth should emerge.T81 Douglas Fir - Reduce to a 6m pole
