25m sounds abit tall for a silver birch, but if thats right then yh, that reduction would be fine IMO

[garry kidd]

mite be wrong on the measurement it cleares the house by a definate 6m

[Mesterh]

They rot quite badly if you leave large wounds, and yeah at 25M probably a world record:thumbup:

 

A photo would be best but at a guess 2M should be ok.

Its not so much the length of the prune that counts, its the cuts diameter.

 

Perfect would be below 40-50 mill, acceptable around 80mm over a 100 mm you want shooting!

No don t do it Silver Birch react badly to being reduced.
