Proposal

Rear garden T1 - Acer negundo Crown reduce and shape by approx. 30% - Up to 3m height reduction Up to 2m lateral reduction to shape and balance. Remove all dead wood and dangerous/defective limbs Reason: The tree has recently shed 3 large limbs landing on the neighbour's garden patio area. All fallen limbs appear to have been stripped of bark on the upper sides. The remaining crown is similarly effected throughout. The tree owner and local residents prefer to keep the tree, but all are in favour of reducing the crown and removing the damaged branches.
