Proposal

T1 Eucalyptus - Current Height: Approximately 12.19 meters - Over-all crown reduction due to being in a small garden. We wish to raise the crown by 1.5 meters to a height of 4 meters from ground level. Lateral branches to be pruned back by 2.5 meters and upper crown to be lowered by 3.05 meters. T2 Cedar deodar (Cedrus deodara) - Current Height: Approximately 7.62 meters - Upper crown lowered only, by 1.5 meters to a height of 6.12 meters from ground level. T3 Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) - Current Height: Approximately 6.71 meters - Potential future issues with the neighbouring cedar (T2) due to blocking light and growing space. We would like to conduct a crown reduction, lifting the lower crown by 0.61 meters to a height of 2.13 meters. Lateral branches to be pruned back by 1.5 meters and upper crown to be lowered by 1.52 meters to a level of 5.19 meters from ground level.
