Crown Thinning
Crown Thinning involves the removal of secondary and small live branches from throughout the crown to a maximum of 25%.
This will increase light levels and reduce wind resistance to leave the tree with an overall balanced branch structure whilst retaining its original size and shape.
Advantages to Crown Thinning
- More light is allowed to pass through the tree brightening up your garden.
- The ability of the tree to stand against adverse weather conditions is increased.
- Crown can be selectively thinned for aesthetic reasons ensuring a well spaced and balanced branch structure.
