Cedar (T1) - This mature Cedar crown has two noticeable levels, upper and lower. We would recommend a reduction to the overhanging lower level branches on the West side of Cedar by 2m-2.5m and a careful selection of branches on the East side to be reduced on the lower level by 2m. We would also recommend a slight reduction on the upper level by 1.5m and a reduction to the North lower canopy by 2m-2.5m. Wesuggest a cut diameter no greater than 80mm on live wood. There is a branch on the south lower level that has twisted and cracked but stillattached and live. We would recommend this is removed. Careful selection of major deadwood to be removed throughout whole
