  • P2026/2907/TRE
    T1: Robinia (Robinia pseudoacacia) - Reduce the overall crown height and lateral spread by approximately 2 metres, selectively pruning back to suitable live growth points. Carefully reshape and balance the remaining canopy to achieve a uniform, well-proportioned finish, retaining healthy furnishing growth on all aspects of the crown. Particular care is to be taken to maintain the tree's natural character and established branch structure, avoiding excessive pruning or unnecessary internal thinning. Reason for works: General tree maintenance, allowing more light into the property.
