View council mapCedar Tree (T1) - Reduce the overall crown by selectively shortening the outermost branches back to suitable secondary growth points, retaining the trees natural form and a balanced canopy. Particular attention will be given to reducing the extended and heavily weighted growth towards the telephone pole. Crown lift the lower canopy by removing or shortening selected lower branches to provide improved clearance over the driveway and beneath the tree. The works are intended to rebalance the crown, improve clearance from the driveway and telephone pole, reduce the overall spread and density of the canopy, and maintain the tree at a suitable size for its location. The tree is currently in good overall health. 1 to 2 metres across the upper canopy. There is quite a lot of weight on the lower right-hand side, so ideally around 2 to 3 metres in that section, where suitable pruning points allow, to reduce the end weight and balance the tree out a little.
