Application overview
Tree Preservation Order EL:10/04 - T1 - Cedar - A large limb has fallen into the play area doing minor damage. Likely due to "summer branch drop". There is evidence in the crown of other historic limb failures + cedars naturally have a disposition to shed heavy limbs. Given the changing weather patterns it seems probable that hot springs/summers will produce conditions for branch drop more + more frequently. We proposed a an approx. 20% reduction in weight on all major libs by selective thinning, aiming to keep pruning cuts at a maximum diameter of 75mm, No reduction in overall height or diameter, with the objective of reducing probability of future failures.
