    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.
