Application overview
Front garden T1 - small-medium Elm This tree has grown to a height at which it may be in danger of being infected by Dutch Elm Disease. The main leader is also entangled within the crown of the adjacent Ailanthus. We advise remove upright limb entangled within the Ailanthus. Reduce remainder by 2.5m to leave a well formed tree. T2 - medium Ailanthus blocking light and air to front garden We advise lift the crown to 4m all round, thin canopy by 12% removing deadwood and crossing branches. Rear garden (access via garage to Aberdeen Lane) T3 and T4 extra large 2x mature Lime Remove deadwood and broken branches from crowns of both trees. Tree work is to be undertaken to remove dead branches to improve form and increase safety in accordance with good arboriculture practice and maintain the future wellbeing and growth of the trees.
