G9 Birch - This group of birch have all been set at 3m centres to form a block. This will become too close as they mature resulting in tall trees with high thin crowns. It is proposed to thin out the number of trees by removing small Weak or damaged trees to improve the group as a whole. T120 Hawthorn - Has major dead wood and die back throughout the crown. Epicormic growth on the trunk suggests the tree is trying to re-crown at a lower level.
