Proposal
T2 ? Mature Pine Tree has a pronounced lean. The owner wishes to retain the tree but would like to mitigate associated risks. Remove the lower overhanging branch. Reduce the crown by approximately 20?30%, focusing on reducing the weight of extended lateral branches. Prune back to suitable growth points to maintain the tree?s natural form and aesthetics. Works are intended to improve crown balance and reduce loading stresses while preserving the character of the tree.
