Pruning

Pruning covers a broad spectrum of tree care techniques.

Reduction

[caption id="attachment_213" align="alignnone" width="469"] Reduction- Before & After[/caption] A reduction involves reducing a trees overall size. Trees can be reduced if they are getting overly large and outgrowing their position or blocking sun. Also misshapen or damaged trees can be reduced to try and even up parts of the canopy. Large trees with very long branches can be at risk of failure and are often reduced to alleviate a branches ‘end weight’ and reduce the risk of a branch failing. Bracing can also help in certain situations. Tree reductions can be very difficult and if not done correctly can result in a tree being irreversibly damaged.

Tree Thinning and Shaping

Thinning is the removal of certain branches to create some light penetration to the inner crown of a tree, and it can also help light penetrate into a garden or house being shaded by a tree. Thinning involves the selective removal of 10% – 20% of growth from the crown to allow light to filter through the canopy and also increase airflow within the canopy which can help ward off certain pests and diseases. Trees can also be shaped to keep them looking smart and stop them getting out of control.

Formative Pruning/ Deadwooding

This involves using several techniques to keep a tree looking good and staying healthy. The removal of dead dying or diseased branch wood, broken branches or stubs left from previous tree surgery are removed.

Crown Lifting

Crown lifting involves raising the lower canopy of a tree. This can be a useful technique for pruning trees up off of lawns (so you can get the mower under), off of houses or other structures and can also help to allow light to penetrate your garden. Generally, when crown lifting a tree we only prune the lower branches.
