what will walnut do?

[Marc]

I wouldn't over thin it or thin it at all, it will have little effect on light levels and may cause to much adventitious regrowth creating even more shade.

 

A lift will have a greater effect on ambient light and as the pruning wounds will be shaded the regrowth should be minimum, coupled with a very light thin should give a better result.

Sound advice!!

it wont be generating energy, not till its leafed up, it is USING reserves stored over winter and in the roots and zylem.

 

best to leave it a while but if the client wont wait a light thin should be o.k reduction definitely not.

 

Let it be said, never reduce Walnut, well said Tony:thumbup1:

Thanks guys, let it be know there was no reducing going on today and as you say a light thin and a little lift did wonders just a shame its dripping now.
