Description

AILANTHUS TREE: REDUCE LEFT & RIGHT TOP EDGES OF CROWN BY UP TO 2M TO BRING INTO AN EVEN BALANCED CANOPY. REDUCE LOWEST BRANCHES BY 2 - 2.5M TO BALANCE UP WITH TOP EDGES AND OVERALL SHAPE. ( IF YOU LOOK AT THE PHOTOS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE HOW BY REDUCING ALL THE EDGES, IT WILL CREATE AN EVEN CANOPY ) REMOVE ANY DEADWOOD. ONCE COMPLETE, THE OVERALL CANOPY WILL BE 10M / 10M. MY CLIENT WOULD LIKE WORK UNDERTAKEN BECAUSE: GENERAL MAINTENANCE LIGHT ISSUES CONSIDERATION TO NEIGHBOURS ETC.
