FRONT: ONE Acer Negundo (T1)(ht.12m) CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by 3m from 12m to ht.9m, REDUCE LATERAL SPREAD by 3m from 12m to 9m. Reason: the main leader has failed and is being held up by the limb below. The canopy has major dieback and the crown is in generally poor physiological and structural condition. The canopy overhangs two driveways and the pedestrian footpath, high likelihood of failure and volume of pedestrians within the drop zone warrant the 5-day notice. The tree will tolerate the pruning as specified, reduction to shape canopy, pruning to suitable points and maintaining natural aesthetic. Informative A: huge thanks for the sensitive management to retain the tree for streetscape amenity. Informative B: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
