Council sourceT.1 - Twisted Willow. Clean failed limb in paddock area, and re-pollard entire tree back to main branch framework to a final height of 4m and shape to rebalance tree as a result of limb breakout. T.2 - Crack Willow. Clean crown of damaged and dead wood. Re-pollard back to secondary branch framework to a final height of 8-10m and shape to reduce overall weight on compromised buttress, stem and main scaffold branches to reduce the risk of wind throw.

Clean failed limb over fence line, and re-pollard back to 4m to be retained as an eco stem. T.5 - Crack Willow. Clean failed limb over fence line, and re-pollard back to previous pollard knuckles at 3.5m and shape to prevent further limb failure on historic pollard unions. T.6 - Silver Birch.
