    why reduce a Lombardy - you can hardly reduce them without them rotting at the pruning point, causing more problems later. When mature the but often becomes hollow too - they live fast die young

    well you could try it and when they find out you could say "I thought you was looking for someone with a big land rover:001_smile:

    I don't recommend reducing the height off them - fell or leave alone

    I don't like the sound of the foul water pipe - it would be worth investigating further

    young cherry plums grow quick with a dense crown - now if you have water logged conditions or stoney ground as mentioned or if the tree has been pot bound when planted and combined with one or more of the formally mentioned, then stability problems can occur. I would reduce the crown by 20% and add a guy rope and pull the tree back to its proper position. after a year slacken off the guy rope a little and see how it goes. if it stabilizes, slacken off a little more the following year then repeat the year after. If none of this works then dig it out, and plant another species

    above all agreed The first run of the Japanese strats were great - I bought one in 1985 and I was told they were better than the American ones at the time - I sold it in 2001 got what I paid for it

    a proper spec for a crown lift would be for example "crown lift to a height of 4 metres"
