Proposal

Please refer to attached tree report for comments. Work spec:777 Monterey Cypress:Reduce the side of the westerncrown by 2.5m by selective branchremoval. Crown raise the easternstem to 5m above ground level toreduce load on the sagged limb.Prune to achieve a 2m clearancefrom the garage. Prune to achieve a1m clearance from the telecomswore. Use a maximum cut diameterof 125mm.Comments:Main stem divides at 1.5m into 5stems. Some included bark present butno signs of excessive movement. Thestems are extensive and have notableleans, most of all in the SW stem. Thecrown density is below average, moreso in southern stem where there isseveral dead branches 100mmdiameter. The eastern stem issubdominant, it looks to have saggedand likely contains some cracking.778 Monterey Cypress:Reduce the spread of the lowest 2limbs in the eastern aspect by 1.5mby selective branch removal.Remove hanging branches atapproximately 12m above groundlevel. Use a 100mm maximum cutdiameter.Comments:Triple stemmed from 1.5m. significantcrown bias to the east. Ivy on mainstems. Extensive lateral branches ineastern aspect. There is at least onebroken branch suspended over theneighbours garage at approximately12m above ground level.779 Monterey Cypress:Remove the hanging branch near thetop of the tree. Remove ivy. Prune toachieve a 2m clearance from thegarage. Reduce the spread of lowesteastern branch by 2m and crownraise it by 2m. Use a 100mmmaximum cut diameter.Comments:Dog-legged main stem with significantcrown bias to the SW. Crown growingwith 1m of garage. Ivy growth on mainstem. Volume of decay suspected inmain stem. Obscured by ivy, butconsidered contained. Lowest branchin eastern aspect is extensive withexcessive end loading suspected.There is a hanging branch near the topof the tree, suspended over the garageroof.780 Monterey Cypress:Reduce the southwestern side of thecrown by 2m, targeting the crackedlimb.
