Proposal

T1 ? Monterey Cypress. Reduce south eastern aspect overhanging 1 Regency Drive by up to 2m, to appropriate growth points. Tip prune sides to shape accordingly. Maximum diameter of cut 75mm. Reason for works: A recent branch failure injured the tenant's dog and the works are to reduce the chance of further failure. The tree is showing signs of the infection Coryneum Canker and it is expected to decline further with more dead and dangerous limbs to become prevalent.
