Works to tree protected by a TPO. T1: Silver birch (14m): Crown reduce by 1-1.5m. The silver birch is leaning on a bank with an extensive roots system at the surface. A 1m reduction is required to keep the tree at a size suitable for its location and to reduce the risk of failure by having less exposed crown after works are completed. Minor pruning is more appropriate than a heavier reduction that may be required in time if left to grow creating larger wounds which is not suitable for the species. This work will be carried out with hand saws and with the use of a MEWP to ensure a sympathetic reduction by removing smaller diameter branches.
