Default Pruning a mature horse chestnut

In article , says...

I suspect the OP's pleasure in having that tree
may well be ruined altogether. I'd almost rather get a TPO on it, go
out for the day and let it be felled completely, or have it turned into
a large stump up which they grow climbers.


For those who don't know what a TPO is :

A Tree Preservation Order will BAN a live healthy tree from being
felled, and owners who disobey a TPO on their tree would face a gigantic
fine for felling or damaging it.
