Maintain the willow den at the height of the den (c.6ft from ground level) with a programme of cyclical pruning in the winter months and/or in early summer. This has been our cyclical maintenance for the past 8 years since planting the willow den, but I understand from your Officer last week that it has now reached a trunk diameter where I require permission due to living in a conservation area.The willow den is at the rear of the property, and is not generally visible from beyond our property and our next door neighbour, both of which would benefit from a tidier willow den than it presently is.
