Previously topped tree!

Recommended Posts

I have just had a call from a woman who wants her tree topped. So i went round to have a look and as the title says the tree had previously been topped. The height and width werent affected as much as i had thought they may have been but still it must have looked like hell for a few years. Its recovered fairly nicely but the woman wants it done again. Iv tried to convince her to have it thinned rather than topped but she is set on having it cut right back again. What should i do? Its a 20-25 foot beech by the way.

Cheers all

Forgot to say that the guys who did it before were local cowboys known in the area. They have ruined lots of tree in the area but are cheap so people keep using them over qualified and competent arborists.

 

All too common...

At 20-25 foot, minus the regrowth, they may be a reasonable height to maintain as a pollard?
