No other significant defects observed. Fair Prune back lowest branch over road by 1.5m N/A 2 Years T4 Cherry 6 5.5 Semi Mature Previously partially crown reduced - poor form and asymmetrical crown growth habit as a result. Poor pruning stumps. Canker growth to underside of lowest limb to SE side of crown. Fair Medium Selective lateral reduction / formative pruning of up to 2.0m to reshape and balance crown. 3 Months 2 Years T7Cherry plum 8.0 6 Semi Mature Canker growth around stem base - obstructed view by understory shrubs. Previously the crown was partially reduced - resulting in poor form. Fair Medium Crown reduction by 30% and reshape 3 Months 2 Years T12Cherry 6.5 10 Semi Mature Previously partially crown reduced - poor form, asymmetrical crown growth habit and excessive lateral spread as a result. Extensive surface rooting longitudinally along planting pit due to inappropriate location. Fair Medium Remove(fell) to ground level and treat stump to inhibit regrowth - poorly pruned in the past -unbalanced crown updated to reshape and rebalance 3 Months 2 Years T13 Birch 12.5 9 Semi Mature Low growth over roadway and parking. Previously partially crown reduced resulting in poor form and misshapen crown growth habit. Extensive surface rooting due to inappropriate planting location. Fair Medium Crown thin by up to 20%, Crown reduction by 30% and reshape. Crown lift to 3.0m (remove branches at source, do not cut to stumps) 3 Months 2 Years T19 Maple 7.5 6 Semi Mature One sided asymmetrical crown growth habit with weight bias to SW.
