Council sourceWalnut Tree - Reduce the height and width of the canopy by 50% so it is no longer shading out nearby fruit trees. Remove dead wood and thin out the canopy if required. Then maintain at that or a similar heightBartlett Pear Tree - Reduce height to just above previous pruning point to reduce fruiting load on branches and keep to a manageable size. Then maintain at that size.Conference Pear Tree - Reduce height to just above previous pruning point to reduce fruiting load on branches and keep to a manageable size. Then maintain at that size.Cherry Tree - Reduce height to just above previous pruning point to reduce fruiting load on branches and keep to a manageable size. Then maintain at that size.Silver Birch Trees - Potentially remove all as dead/in decline and in inappropriate location and planted too close together. 1 already dead. 3 in decline. 2 Large Fir Trees - Remove lowest of branches to raise canopy to above head height 2 Purple Cherry Trees - Certainly would like to remove the one on the right as it is located close to the house. However both have visible fungus and appear to be struggling/in decline so would be happy to remove both if they continue to fail to thrive Cherry Tree (younger) - Remove as planted too close to patio/shed, previous support (metal bar) has impeded growth and branches have been braced as not strong. Does not appear heathy. Front House Tree - This was pruned prior to us moving in - we would like to maintain the height as there is a phone cable and maintain the width growth as there is a street light within the growing range.
