T1 Lime, Tree has been shedding large branches, predominantly deadwood. Recent damage has been a smashed car windscreen. Although a certain amount of branch loss is to be expected of a mature Lime, the position of this tree in a domestic urban garden means targets are frequent. I propose to prune the height and spread of the Lime by 8m and 3m respectively, (current height approx 24m, current spread approx. 12m). Pruning will shorten back extended limbs reducing end weight and tip growth, (most common place for dieback on Limes,) will be light re-active growth much less likely to cause damage to people and property.
