T1- Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus Globulus). Positioned in the rear garden of the property next to a Silver Birch (betula pendula).The Eucalyptus has grown away from the silver birch causing one side to be heavy as a result the tree has a 45 degree lean in the main stem. There are also 3 lower limbs resting on the privet hedge or in easy head height.1- remove lower three limbs to a higher growing point to BS 3998.2- reduce heavy side of the Eucalyptus by a third which will balance the tree out with the other side to BS 3998.
