TG1- Row of X7 beech trees. Reduce the trees to approximately the same height as the adjacent established hedge row. The trees are clearly a continuation of an existing hedgerow which have been left to grow into individual stems. TG2- X4 hornbeam adjacent to TG1. Reduce and reshape by removal of up to 2.5-3m of height and lateral spread. The trees are growing close to one another and would benefit the wider garden if the ultimate height and spread were controlled. T3- Ash. Remove the large pieces of dead wood and remove the low end weighted limb over the path, back to source.
