Pruning a yew! Help

[john p]

trees are a lot more hardcore than people give em credit for,get stuck in,you wont kill it

i butchered this yew with great reasults not 50% though think ur asking a bit much

 

Looks very good, it doesn't look butchered at all. 50 percent is what customer wants. Due to the location of the tree. He will see anything less will be a waste of money.

Thanks for your advice. When I do the job I will take pics before and after and post them. I'm not the best but every tree you do the better I will get. I just didn't want to hack at it like a p@&£y.

how big is the tree most yew of any size round here has a TPO on it

ask 40% and do what i did aim for 40%-30%

50% is what the bloke asked for and when i had finished the bloke was over the moon

pick ur height and shape the tree to the height

The crown is about 8 meters wide. About 10 meters high so it's not that big of a tree.
