Start at the top! If in doubt where to make your cuts, get a groundie to eye you in to begin with, that should help you get started!!

Have a grounds with a good eye, don't procrastinate, be decisive and make the cuts it's easy to waste precious time agonising over which growth point to cut to when it should be a quick decision

[testcricket01]

Try not to get worried about it as said above i get the groundy to give me the top level then i no where top is going to be, i can then shape the rest, go with your instints you will know where every branch needs to end up to fit the shape. Just crack on and try and enjoy it.

Just swing the chainsaw round the top making sure its nice and flat. Job done!

 

I see it done like that in my area all the time:laugh1:

YES you do! Every tree, every time.

 

The only exception is trimming the side of a hedge with hedgetrimmers.

Out of interest does everyone agree on the growth point, point on EVERY tree?
