Proposal

T1 Lucombe Oak - Prune the lateral branches from the property to gain a 3 metre clearance (measured from the gutter) third order branches, cut size of 2-3 inches. - Prune back the lower 30% of the crown laterally facing the lawn area (West to norther west facing) by 1-2 metres. Third order branches of cut size 2-3 inches. - Crown lift over the lawn area by up to 2 metres. third order branches of 2-3 inches diameter. Reasons - Create light to the patio area and through the lower crown to the lawn, whilst having a minimal effect on the vigour, health, and form of the tree. It was noted that exudations from the lower stem of gum/black watery liquid could be a symptom of Phytophthora or acute oak decline. The upper crown has thinned, smaller leaves, and chlorosis present. Regular monitoring of this and the other two oak trees in the garden is recommended.
