Council sourcePear tree (rear garden): 1.0m height reduction, crown selectively reshaped to maintain a balanced and natural form. The crown will be cleaned of dead, dying and defective branches, with all significant deadwood removed. Any excessive epicormic growth throughout the crown will also be selectively removed where appropriate, retaining a suitable healthy framework and avoiding unnecessary removal of live growth.
