    T1 - Front Garden Main Lawn Tree of Heaven: 3m from drive / 14m from front of the house. Due to the size and condition of the main stems and cavities visible I would recommend a light crown reduction of approx. 2m to help reduce the weight and stress. To also reduce the crown expanse to form a compact crown. The finished height will be 14m in height and spread.
