Hamas big reduction/pruning thread!


Recommended Posts

I dont doubt for one minute this is going to recieve some flak!:laugh1:

 

I am putting this up for several reasons, i) to dispel this rubbish myth that reduction is a bad thing and that it always leaves the tree looking rubbish, if it looks rubbish it hasnt been done right. ii) to show some of the younger up and coming lads and lasses just what CAN be achieved with thought and effort. iii) it may just attract some weekend freelancing, which I badly need at the mo!:001_rolleyes:

Very nice work. My little knowledge of walnuts tells me that cutting should be kept to a minimum - they don't like it. But the example you've provided is a bit more than a peripheral trim! I'm sure there were good reasons but that's not my point: do you have any fears for the way the tree might react? I believe they are susceptible to dieback from the cuts, like magnolias...?

 

Cheers,

 

Jon

Your spot on, if done with care, ensuring the cuts are perfect collars and not too much is removed foiliage wise they usualy are fine, would avoid at this time of year and for 2 months or they will certainly suffer.:thumbup:
