Height reduction of a lime in hale, manchester

[AlderwoodTreeCare]

This tall lime tree at the end of the garden was blocking out light and becoming too large for its surrounding location so a height reduction by drop crotching was done to maintain a natural looking shape whilst allowing more light into the garden.

Sorry Alderwood - fair play for posting pics of your work and everything but to be honest I think that tree looks horrible.

I would not be happy with that, Cant understand on the other pics on your site why you have left all those pegs on the spruce when taking it down? I would clean them all off when going up or maybe thats just me!

Hi Alderwood, thanks for the post.

 

As you specified it is a 'height reduction', not all over crown reduction, but it does appear a tad excessive for a drop crotch technique and it doens't quite achieve a natural form.

 

I'm interested to learn more about the training/mentoring etc. you've received, and your interpretation of the works undertaken, as I have concerns that 'the message' is just not getting into certain parts of the training world regarding pruning standards...often than not this involves none commercial/industry based training providers, hmmm.

 

Cheers..
