Council sourceQuercus Robra (English Oak). The work I want to carry out is a 10-15% crown thin throughout the oak as the tree has grown out of control from the centre and has a lot of one sided weight. I will also dead wood the tree completely as the neighbours have completed about pieces of falling deadwood in their garden. I will also reduce the limbs of the oak by half a metre to where they were previously pruned back to.
