Proposal

Lime tree. Thin out about five of the upper stems down to the old pollard points, to open the upper crown. Reduce remaining upper stems down to the fork below the 2020 high pollard point. Usually retain the subsidiary branch from that fork. Reduce spread by cutting back laterals to the fork behind the last pruning point, and retaining the smaller branch from that fork. New overall shape indicated on submitted photo.
