The resulting growth comprising several smaller branches now need to be trimmed back and removed. The main boughs and canopy of the tree will remain untouched. This work is to raise the skirt of tree to provide more light to the surrounding churchyard and planting whilst improving the aesthetics of the tree and surroundings.
