how about a water soluble mhycorrhizal first and then a mulch and finally prune once you see some vigorous growth

Using woodchip, the sugars released by the breakdown of the chip itself will encourage the right type of fungi for tree itself, rather than throwing some 'works for everything'  spores that are often not even viable anyway. 

 

Sorry not of fan of mycorrizal inoculations, I don't believe we understand the relationships involved enough to be able to produce anything that isn't largely snake oil as yet.

I‘m no expert, but i read or heard somewhere that a Oak will only recover from one large reduction.
 

We reduced a whopping oak lapsed pollard that had had a good 7 meter reduction 4 years previously, we must have taken another 5 off, it’s shown really good growth since and the plan is to reduce again in 5 years (it’s riddled with gano and polypore). I’ll try and dig out some pics.....
