    Lime Tree - Trunk 1 - SW side. General crown reduction 20% with selective additional thinning of any significant lateral branches that overhang Wellswood footpath. Trunk 2 - Self felled. To be cleared and logged. Trunk 3 - Central trunk - General crown reduction 25% to reduce wind exposure - See photo showing early sign of fungal infection following close/adjoined growth with Trunk 2. Requires therefore regular monitoring with possible future decision to top/fell. Trunk 4 - East/North East Growth. Evident disturbance to it's root system or surface uplift from the failure of trunk 2. - General crown reduction 20%. In this case "crown" is mainly lateral plus selective lateral (horizonal) reduction of some heavier branches to reduce risk of leverage load.

    T1 Magnolia: Crown reduce the height and lateral spread by approximately 1 - 1.5m metres. Spread and height is currently 5m. Finished height and width will be approx 4m. Pruning branch tips back to suitable secondary growth points to retain a natural crown outline. Works to achieve a balanced canopy with no more than one-third of foliage removed in accordance with BS 3998:2010. These works are requested due to tree touching building and encroaching onto main entrance into church. Public footpath: T2 Plum: Fell 1x leaning stem to regain footpath width. Very small stem, growing directly into busy public footpath. All pruning cuts to be made at suitable growth points. All works carried out to BS 3998:2010 Tree Work Recommendations. Remove all cut material from site & return to a Teign Trees depot for recycling, leaving the area safe, clean & tidy.
