    The yew tree in question is showing signs of asymmetric crown formation. After previous limb failure causing a structural imbalance to the remaining crown. My proposal for the future vigour of this tree is toInstall a dynamic cobra bracing system to support the imbalance of the lower structural limbs forming a strong three way triangulation of support for the lateral growth that has become very prone to wind through. Please see photo (Yew Reduction Points) for bracing points highlighted in blue.Selective thinning of the whole crown by removing internal growth with a maximum cut size of 60mm diameter 1.5m length by removing multiple smaller limbs I believe this will be more beneficial to the trees structure, and limit the amount of large wounds left by the thinning works. Allowing for better wind distribution through the remaining crown hopefully eliminating future wind through. by leaving the larger structural limbs intact for the future longevity of the structural integrity. please see photo (Yew Reduction Points) with cut points highlighted in red for chosen thinning points throughout the crown Remove failed limb back to the branch collar. The failed limb supported by lower crown hazard beam fracturing of the timber 150mm diameter 2.5m length this will be the largest of the limbs to be removed through suggested works. red dotted line on attached photo hard to see the hazard beam on the photo (Yew Reduction Points)Selective reduction of the height maximum of 1m in length 40mm cut size to the crown on selected limbs again highlighted in red so that again the risk of wind through will be reduced.

    Crown reduction of 20% to the lime tree. These are halfway down our residential garden and both becoming too big for their setting. Crown reduction of approximately 3 metres from the top of the tree.Lateral crown reduction of approximately 2 metres from all sides.Approximate retained canopy radius - 3 metres.Approximate final tree height - 9 metres.The proposed works are intended to continue the established cyclical management of this mature lime tree. The tree has grown substantially since it was last reduced and is now encroaching onto neighbouring properties, resulting in the need for further management to maintain good neighbour relations.The arborist also advised that reducing the crown will help reduce the loading on the relatively slender predominant stem, supporting the trees long-term management.For reference, I have attached a photograph taken immediately after the last reduction in January 2023. The proposed works are intended to achieve a broadly similar level of reduction as as you will know, lime trees are very resilient to pollarding and regularly managed in this way.
