Pointless how?

The tree will be smaller, the garden will get more light, clients happy, tree company happy.

Of course it will grow, so do hedges, so does grass, so does my dogs fur, doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be trimmed regularly.

Just slaughter it however you like n run with the money 😉 K

Depends on the spec.

’Hat rack back to previous’ - no problem.

’0.75m crown reduction as specified by TO’ - problem. MEWP or walk away.

 

Reductions done entirely with pole saws and/or pole pruners always look shit.

The finished product always depends on the length of branch length removed and the operative. I would never advocate use of pole pruners from ground, but a reduction of 1.5m from our tallest steps working off level ground with the Jamesons, I think few would notice a difference in method, if the brief was for 1.5m.

But it won’t slaughter it will it? It will regrow. The client will like how it looks afterwards, be happy with the extra light in the garden and be happy to have it done again in 5 years.

 

Who loses?
