Cherry (Prunus avium) - located in rear garden overhanging the eastern boundary. Repeat of pruning prescription previously implemented Jun 2024 i.e. combined thinning and reduction of tree canopy. Reduce foliage density by 20% to allow more light to garden beneath. The thinning operation will primarily remove the extension growth from the previous pruning operations, so as to slightly reduce canopy height and lateral radial spread by a maximum of 1.5-2.0m), pruning back to suitable secondary growthy, whilst maintaining a balanced crown of good form and maintaining the tree at a suitable size for its location.
