Proposal

Plum Tree –Reduce height and thin the decayed areas Laurel Bush –Reduce height to limit risk of falling branchesThis client has just had her planning application approved to thin and reduce the plum tree.However I looked at the tree last week and its not in a good state. I've recommended felling the tree as the tree has multiple broken/snapped branches in the canopy from pockets of rot in the crown and the base of the tree has various fruiting bodies. It seems to be in a state of decline and not really safe retain in this position.
