Council sourceI wish to prune and crown thin the Walnut tree in the southwest corner of my garden by 30%. This is to enable the sun to get to the garden and also into the house. This tree is too large for an urban garden and completely obliterates the sun to the property for the majority of the day. This tree needs to be allowed to be pruned substantially to be able to enjoy the property to the level the householder previously experienced in years gone by.
