When should I prune my large Birch tree?
Hello I have a silver birch tree in my garden, adjacent to my house. It is getting quite tall and is getting very close to the gutter. I would like to get it trimmed down to a more reasonable size to reduce any risk of strong winds causing the tree to cause damage to my house. Is there a best suited time of the year to cut the top of the tree off? I am worried cutting it before or during winter may kill the tree, which I definitely don’t want. Any advice on this would be appreciated.

Felling mature oak. Ground heave?
We have a dying (decay in trunk) mature TPO oak approx 7m from a conservatory on a raft foundation. We're on clay soil. Both an arborist and tree surgeon have advised to have the tree felled sooner rather than later. An application has been made to the LA. Given the tree is on clay I understand removal could cause the clay to re hydrate and cause heave on the conservatory foundations. So there's risk if the tree is not felled and risk if it is! Thoughts?
