Proposal
T1 Weeping Willow Salix babylonica T1 is on the roadside boundary of orchard cottage. T1 has been reduced approximately 4 years ago. this is because willow shed branches once overweighed reducing the tree will remove weight from branches making them safer and less likely to fail over the busy road. while keeping the nice aesthetics of the tree. once a tree has been pruned the re growth from pruning cuts will have weak unions and can fail. T1 work proposed Reduce t1 to previous points making pruning cuts on vertical and horizontal growth of no more than 8cm, leaving some weeping branches in order to keep the aesthetics of the tree. Cyclical every 3-5 years.
