Council sourceT1 Tree of Heaven - 2 x crossing/rubbing primary branches have caused an extensive cavity to form on the lower branch, due to repeated movement during cross winds. Both branches significantly overhang adjacent gardens. Prune to remove lower primary branches. Prune back to the main stem. Carry out a lateral branch reduction on the upper primary branch. End-weight reduce by 2-3M. T2 False Acacia - Tree leans heavily over bridlepath/rear trackway into primary school. Tree is gradually subsiding with lower tertiary branches now set just above head height. Unable to fully assess root crown area due to vegetation and ground ivy. Carry out a full crown reduction. Reduce tree height and lateral spread by 1-2m. Clear an area of vegetation approx. 2m over the root crown area to allow inspection.
