T1 Willow. -Pollard back to previous pollard points. Or, dependant on extent of decay in stem/s, - Pollard to 2-3 m below previous pollard points if deemed necessary. This Mature Willow was pollarded around 5 years ago. The canopy is very healthy with small amounts of dead wood. It is in close proximity to power cables, encroaching on the driveway and adjacent Cherry. The main stem has woodpecker holes which have been present for over 5 years. We would like to assess the extent of the cavities, using a probe and sounding methods. If the decay has largely increased since the last inspection we would like to reduce the tree approximately 2-3m below the previous pollard points, to reduce the forces on the main stem. T2 Cherry - Reduce back to previous points. -Thin 10%. This cherry is now in very close proximity to the overhead powerlines and fibre optic cables. It is in need of a reduction to bring back into a shape more suited to its location.
