Proposal

1x previously pruned lower over elongated branch growing over neighbours garage to be reduced back to main stem. The branch has been previously crown lifted and has over elongated to gain clearance from the above canopy competition. This has resulted in a long branch with poor options for reducing to a reasonable growth point. Reducing this branch back to the main stem will reduce the likelihood of damage being caused to the garage roof below in the event of a branch snapping or failing. Removal of this branch will also improve the aesthetic quality of the tree.
