ST MARYS CHURCH, ORCHESTON, SP3 4RP
Mature Lime (Tilia) remove the lower limbs on that southern side of the tree, without changing the height or structure of the rest of the canopy. Reduce branches overhanging the church by 6 metres. This would be a crown reduction, only affecting that south-eastern side. I estimate that will be less than a 10% reduction of the total canopy. The box bushes (Buxus) behind the bell tower need a substantial reduction to get them well away from the historic stonework as we have been advised the historic building needs more air flow around it. We propose to reduce the box plants to 4ft stumps and then let them fill back out.
