London Plane Reduction - Oz style

Recommended Posts

We don't do many reductions in these parts – unless reducing to ground level...

 

I have a client with a small London Plane. It's young (~5-6m tall), in good shape but within 4m of the house.

 

They like the tree but know it will turn into a giant so I suggested a reduction. I'm assuming the best time to do this is autumn/winter right? The climate is humid subtropical – we've just had 150mm in the last three days and I'm expecting several 40ºC+ days before the end of summer.

 

I reckon it'd be back to the same size in 12 months after a 20-25% reduction so they might opt for complete removal within a few years anyway.
