  1. I need some advice on quite a large Atlas Cedar. I have a client who is a bit worried about the Cedar potentially failing or the roots causing damage to their house or neighbouring buildings. It is exposed to the wind but also fairly sheltered and also some fissures from bifurcations. There is also a main water pipe underground which runs between the tree and the house. It has been topped previously by another company, i’m just wondering whether to keep maintaining it with end-weight reductions. It’s obviously difficult it reduce it back quite hard and back to good growth points whilst trying to keep a good crown shape and it would be a shame to bring it down. I’ll add some photos below, keen to have a second opinion on the best course of action for the tree. Ideally just keep on with tip reductions but would it be enough? The client doesn’t particularly want the tree to go, but would rather prevent any future predicaments. Many thanks.
