Proposal
T.1 - Twisted Willow. Clean failed limb in paddock area, and re-pollard entire tree back to main branch framework to a final height of 4m and shape to rebalance tree as a result of limb breakout. T.2 - Crack Willow. Clean crown of damaged and dead wood. Re-pollard back to secondary branch framework to a final height of 8-10m and shape to reduce overall weight on compromised buttress, stem and main scaffold branches to reduce the risk of wind throw. T.3 - Eucalyptus - clean crown of deadwood. T.4 - Crack Willow. Historic pollard, with multiple stem delamination as a result of end-loading. Clean failed limb over fence line, and re-pollard back to 4m to be retained as an eco stem. T.5 - Crack Willow. Clean failed limb over fence line, and re-pollard back to previous pollard knuckles at 3.5m and shape to prevent further limb failure on historic pollard unions. T.6 - Silver Birch. Clean damaged, hanging limb in upper crown and reduce lateral leader by 1m to suppress vertical growth and competition leader growth. T.7 - Gingko biloba. Cut wisteria away from crown and to give clearance. T.8 - Apple (uprooted). Clear and remove to ground level. T.9 - Beech (dead/dying). Extensive decay at base of stem on western side, with decay running up into upper stem. Bark flaking throughout primary, secondary and tertiary branches. Reduce entire tree to a final stem height of 3m, to be retained as an eco stem.
