| 1. | It is recommended that this Willow tree T6 as shown on the Havering TPO plan 7/10 can be overall crown reduced by up to 3m from the tip to an inter-nodal branch break to leave the tree balanced.
Where this Willow tree is growing towards other trees on this site, it can be pruned to alleviate the branch growth through or against other trees. The Prunus to the east can have the branches that are growing through the main canopy reduced to the fork before the Prunus, the remaining branch to the left can be reduced by up to 2m, to stop branches entangling with the branches of the Prunus. The Hawthorn to the south can have the branches growing through its canopy reduced to the main fork, and the remaining branches pruned to give 1m clearance. The Silver birch to the west can have the Willow branches pruned away from the Silver birch to give 1m clearance. |
