Wrong time of year for a common,  Cut to the ground, guidance says

The electricity industry already works to a national standard for safe distances

between overhead power lines and trees. These vary according to the voltage level
at which the power lines operate but other factors also come into consideration, such
as determining whether a tree is deemed to be climbable. The range of clearances
that apply vary between 0.8m (for lower voltage lines close to non-climbable trees)
and 5.3m (for 400kV lines close to climbable trees).

There was at least 15 feet above the tree any way, both of them, any ideas?
