Description

T1 Plum tree. This is an old tree around 10 metres tall, in very poor condition. It has lost a couple of branches over the past few years. Its growing at an angle, and although our arborist does not think its an immediate danger, he suggests - in view of the fact that its very close to the boundary - that the top third should be removed in order to reduce any risk. We will also remove the ivy.T2 A dense thicket of self-sown Bay trees. They were cut down some years ago, but are vigorously regrowing and are around 6 metres tall at the highest. We would like them trimmed again to about 2 metres.T3 Yew shaping. This is a fastigiate tree around 9 metres tall, and we would like to restore it to its natural shape. We have tidied the base of the tree over a number of years, clearing out ivy, and the new growth is now over a third of the total height. We would like to continue reshaping it by removing some branches that are splaying outwards so that the tree will form a positive vertical accent in the overall treescape.
