TG1(red): Removal of two Apple T2(magenta): Removal of one Prunus T3(cyan): Removal of one Ash Apple prunus and ash are poor specimens. Both apples are over mature with poor growth habits and suffering from a lack of previous maintenance. Prunus has self seeded in an undesirable location. Ash has been subject excessive and poor pruning in the past. Suggest to remove all four trees and replant with same species except for the ash as part of a redevelopment of the garden.
