Proposal
Remove 1 Robinia located to south side of orchard. Fruit trees are competing for light behind Robinia hindering attempts to develop orchard to its full potential. From the Finningham Road, the Robinia also sits in front of a significant Willow tree and obscures over half of the Willow from view. Robinia is 5inches across at chest height.
