Proposal

T2 Birch to undertake a 1-2m, considerate crown reduction to rebalance the canopy and mitigate the effects of historic pruning. Reduce extended limbs on the owners side to lower mechanical stress. Remove all deadwood within the canopy. Carry out light selective thinning to reduce wind loading and improve canopy condition.
