Yep its part of my progressive approach to aboriculture see i like to leave leaders to continue the growth.

 

 

 

 

 

Actually my battery died pic 2 and some of the others were just before i finished off the tree. Pic 2 just gives you a good idea of the shape i was working to. Also it was pretty windy and hairy up there once finished i headed to the onsite club for a stiff drink.

If i have time i'll post more pics of the finished job

A quick pic of the die back in the upper crown, i gues the tree lacks the hydraulic pressure to sustain the upper crown, in the summer it was very sparse with small leaves and would always turn brown and lose it leaves before the lower crown. This tree was touching 100ft pretty big for an Acer

Nope dry as a bone even nearly a week later as the buds are about to burst, the tree lacks the pressure to supply the top effectivly hence the reduction/retrenchment, in a few years time at a more appropiate time in the season i will do more work to the sides, this time i only targeted certain over extended heavy laterals by the time the pressure builds i'm sure the xylem rays or whatever will have closed.

Its still a learning experience for me though.
