Proposal
T2 Lime tree - This tree (T2) has had a management plan over the past 2 years to reduce the crown in height and maintain it as a pollard. This tree now warrants the final stage of the candelabra framework - reducing the tree to 11 meters in height leaving a radial spread of 2-3 meters. It is important as part of the pollarding regime to keep cyclical pruning at reasonable intervals. Due to this being the final stage of the candelabra frame work it seems reasonable to apply for the management of regrowth - when it is in excess of 3 meters approximately every 3 - 5 years to save time and cost of having to re-apply at each interval.
