Proposal
Holly T1 and T2- reduce height by 4m (from current height of 7m to 3m). Currently both trees are essentially trunk with limited crowns as as the previous owners of our property allowed ivy to envelop both specimens stopping lateral growth. We have been advised by Adrian Hoare, our Tree Surgeon, to cut back the ivy as it threatens the health of the trees. Both trees are an eyesore to the village, two trunks with no side growth wrapped in dead ivy. Our aim is to create two well shaped trees.
