Proposal

(T001) Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) Lift crown to approximately 3 metres and thin canopy by 25%. Crown lift T001 to provide approximately 3 m clearance above ground level. Remove both crossing branches as part of a selective canopy thin not exceeding 25%. The works should retain the tree?s natural form and avoid unnecessary removal of sound live growth. The tree contains crossing branches, a crown break with associated sap seepage and an imbalanced major fork at approximately 2 m above ground level. These features warrant proportionate management; however, no evidence was recorded during the inspection to indicate that the tree presents an immediate or intolerable risk.
