Proposal to reduce the crown of a single multi-stemmed conifer in the rear garden from approximately 20 m to a final height of about 9/10 m, and reduce the lateral spread to roughly 5/6 m, following BS 3998:2010 guidelines.
Proposal as recorded
T1 single multi-stemmed conifer in the rear garden - Crown reduction tree is approximately 20 m high with a current crown spread of about 7/8 m (around 3.5/4 m radius). Carry out a crown reduction to a final height of about 9/10 m, in line with BS 3998:2010 Recommendations for Tree Work: Shorten upper crown branches back to suitable secondary branches so that the final height is around 9/10 m. Reduce the lateral spread all round by about 1/2 m, giving a final spread of roughly 5/6 m. Retain an even, balanced crown; no heavy topping cuts. Avoid cutting into main stems unless needed to keep the tree structurally stable. Remove dead, dying, damaged or rubbing branches as part of the work.
