Council sourceT2 Oak - crown reduction by approximately 15%-20% of the overall crown volume (2.5-3.0 metres from branch tips), retaining the natural shape and form of the tree. The reduction will be achieved through selective pruning of suitable secondary and tertiary branches, with cuts kept to appropriate growth points and branch unions; the removal of dead, dying, damaged and crossing branches where appropriate; selective removal of weak or poorly attached secondary branches; crown lifting only where necessary, with no excessive removal of lower limbs. The natural shape, balance and structural integrity of the oak will be retained.
