A number of Damson trees around the boundaries are leaning over, some dangerously, showing disease and decay. The trees are mainly self seeded Damsons, one is dead and on my neighbours boundary (White House), two are leaning over at 45 degrees on boundary with public footpath. Two in the garden are dangerous, cracked and fallen on other trees, the final two are on the boundary with Croxford Orchard and leaning over on other trees. I also want to cut back branches that are brushing my house and reduce the height of that boundary.
