Proposal

T1 - Portuguese Laurel - Crown reduction. T1 is 5m, and the spread of the crown is 4m. This will be reduced to 3m and 2m, respectively. T1 is starting to severely dwarf the passageway. This will not only bring T1 more under control and improve the aesthetic of the tree, but will also allow more sunlight into the neighbouring window and garden.
