Proposal

G1 Silver Birch (2 trees on southern aspect of group) - 2-2.5m Lateral reduction of lower Southern limbs to suitable growth points. Lateral reduction of upper Southern limbs progressively by lesser amounts as height increases tapering into the existing crown to maintain a natural form and shape without diminishing appearance while reducing loading and sail area. Retain autumn leaves and spread within the flower beds to provide additional defence against pathogenic fungi, while continuing with routine inspections and monitoring for future recurrence of fungal fruiting bodies.
