The Magnolia and Fig are getting too large to fulfil light levels indoors, restricting views of the sky and showing too much shade now. Pruning overall extension growth will cause vigorous regrowth and deepen the problem. The garden has a delicate sophisticated natural plant architecture feel. The pruning needs to be aligned to this successful visual. T1 Magnolia Front Garden: Thin canopy by 10% to increase dappled light. Lift canopy targeting subbranches for a natural look. Reduce back selected laterals to "nip and tuck" key areas that are associated with windows in the house. The Magnolia is proposed to be lifted to provide a height clearance of approx. 2.5m from ground level. We then proposed to reduce 3x selected overextended laterals to the south by approx. 0.5m, cutting back to suitable secondary growth points. T2 Flowering plum: Very light 0.5m height reduction of canopy. T3 Fig. Back Garden: Too dense and now taking too much light from seating and garden areas close to the house again. Thin by 10%, look to form but reduce areas where too much growth dominates.
