Proposal

T1 Acacia: crown reduce the canopy by 30%. Leaving the tree at a height of roughly 10 metres and a crown radius of roughly 3 metres. Reason: this tree recently had a large limb in the upper canopy fail. It was hanging on by a thread over the public footpath. This has raised concern with the owners for potential future failings of limbs. My advice to reduce the entire canopy would give a few years at least of no worry of this happening again.
