The Acer pseudoplatanus/ Sycamore tree, we are aiming at 4-5 meter crown reduction/thinning out dead wood crossing or rubbing branches to form a healthy aesthetically pleasing crown just reduced in overall size. 2. Fraxinus excelsior pollards to be reduced by 4-5 meters in height or back to old pollard points, again to form the healthiest example being reduced from high pollarded growth. 3. Prunus spp very small shrub tree in alley way to be reduced by 0.5 - 1.5 meters maximum as wobbling due to windy position and poor rooting (possibly root girdling) . 4. Sambucus nigra also in alley way wobbling so reduction of height again 0.5 - 1 meter maximum to reduce wobble from sail effect of windy position in alley way.
