20 years ago we were given permission to reduce the height of our Judas Tree to preserve it. We would like to do the same again. (4m height reduction and lateral spread). On his last visit, your tree officer said that we might want to consider removing an unhealthy Robinia to give a better specimen more of a chance. We would now like to remove the unhealthy one. Our Tulipifera is getting very tall. It is next to our house and the road. We have seen examples that have been pruned. We would like to do the same. (Reduce by one third) (20-25m tall - reduce by 7-8m).
