Hornbeam in the rear garden (1 of the 5 hornbeams in group G5 of TPO 02V07). Works: crown reduce all round by removing approximately 5 years' regrowth, cutting back to the previous pruning points. Additional reduction to the limb on the rear (back) side of the tree, which has a weak union, to reduce end-weight and load on that union, approx. . approx. 3 m reduction all round(back to previous); approx. 2m additional reduction to the weak-union limb. All cuts to be made to suitable growth points in line with BS 3998:2010 (Tree work – Recommendations). Reasons: (1) to keep the tree at its previously managed size through its established pruning cycle, as it has been pruned back to these points before; (2) to reduce the risk of failure at the weak union on the rear limb by reducing the weight and leverage on that limb.
