another little willow reduction as usual they wanted it harshly cut back off garage and towards there house, but think it turned out into a nice shape, horrible day for getting round the tree. really windy and peeing it down with rain and no branches till tips and loads of moss made for quite a slippery half days work. still all good fun.

 

Nice job, in 2 months you'll not know it was done and in 3 months it will have grown so much you'll be back again:001_rolleyes: Quids in:thumbup:

found thats not really the case! if reduced like testcricket has done wich looks a top job!...drove past one i did a 25%on 4 years ago and it has nothing like the regrowth of a hard reduction or pollard and i bet has not got the rot in the unions it would have if it had been done harder either.

I too have had some that haven't had a mass of regrowth probaly due to the tree using its energy at un-pruned points because they need less energy to run. But also i have done some reductions which have grown like wildfire, they were all by the river in norwich so they always had a source of water. Pollards (sorry for swearing:lol:) are another kettle of fish, man they go some.

 

Also after re reducing and pollarding willows it seems rot decay rate is the same for cuts the same size to me....
