Proposal

1no Lime (T10) - To carryout light formative prune to establish and maintain a well-balanced crown structure and natural appearance. Selectively remove poorly positioned, crossing and competing branches together. The dominant central leader and majority of the existing crown will be retained. Pruning cuts will be kept to approx. 25mm or less wherever practicable. Branch length 2.25m, reduce by 0.25m. 1no. Ash (T11) – Prune the mid-canopy branch growth extending over the property boundary back towards boundary fence line. Branch extensions are approx. 1.5m in length, with pruning cuts limited to no greater than 45mm in diameter. 1no. Acacia (T12) – Undertake a targeted tip reduction to first northern lateral, reducing the over-extended northern growth back into proportion with existing crown. Reduce tertiary branch foliage by approx. 0.5m, with pruning cuts limited to approx. 30mm in diameter. 1no. Cherry (T13) – Reduce and reshape canopy, reducing overall height from approx. 9m to 7m, max 2m height reduction. Blend side canopy over extended 4m to 3m, reduction will be blended throughout the crown to retain a natural and balanced ornamental form. Existing lateral crown extension is to be reduced proportionately, retaining sufficient branch structure and foliage to maintain the tree's established appearance.
