My first ever crown reduction

[hesslemount]

I know this is symantics but are we talking crown "reduction" here or crown "thinning"? Reduction cuts reduce height of branch architecture whereas thinning reduces canopy density. Sorry not being an arse here just working it out. If it is a "thinning" then bravo .. the art of thinning is reducting by 15-20% without anyone realising you've been up there.

[not for sale sorry]

spelling mistake :P

yes it was 10%

 

i personally don't see the point in small reductions, but, it's work and great experience at putting a little thought into tree work, rather than lumping big bits of wood to the ground.

i enjoyed it.
