Thin crown by up to 10% concentrating on branch tips Maintain a continuous and flowing canopy outline REASONS FOR WORKS: Very large tree in close proximity to the house and neighbouring house. Previously reduced with dense and extensive regrowth, encroaching on the building in places. Very dense canopy with very little light filtering through to lower areas. Follow on from previous maintenance strategies to manage the tree relative to its position
