Some pics of me and a large Acer psuedoplatnus reduction i have done, this was a bit experimental for me, its going to be part of a long term pruning plan for this veteran tree.

 

The first stage was to get some height and weight out of the suffering top, there by reducing the sail area adn chance of serious structual failure.

 

I'm not 100% pleased with the outcome i keep telling myself with Acer and such a reduction a perfect shape leaving good winter structure will always be hard, i'm sure come summer though this tree will look great.

I also left high top'd stems rather than making big drop crotches to at least leave a chance of retaining a good high anchor point for future work.
