Description

EL:91/08 - Tree Species: Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) Location: Close to the road. Proposed Work: We propose to reduce the height of the Douglas Fir by approximately 3 meters, cutting back into the thicker part of the canopy to address the leggy growth at the top. Reason for Work: The upper portion of the Douglas Fir has developed sparse and leggy growth, which increases the sail effect and susceptibility to wind damage. Reducing the height will improve the tree's stability by decreasing the sail capacity. Additionally, as the tree is located near a road, this reduction will mitigate potential risks associated with falling branches or storm damage, enhancing safety for both the property and passersby. Additional Considerations: All work will be conducted with respect for the tree's health and structural integrity, ensuring that the reduction promotes a balanced and natural canopy shape.
