Trunk is 3.5m from left boundary wall, 1.2m from greenhouse entrance.Proposal: To remove tree as the upper branches overhang and shade the greenhouse, and the trunk obstructs easy access in and out of the greenhouse. Tree 2 - Thuja plicata ?Western red cedar?. At 1.5m high, trunk is 15cm diameter. 4m tall (top is thin and spindly). 4.5m from trunk to left boundary wall. Foliage protrudes 1.6-1.7m from the trunk in all directions. Foliage overhangs greenhouse rear right corner by 1m.
