........Retrenchment pruning getting more fashionable now...

 

Love it, K

Why?

 

Why would you want to look at this in your garden?

 

Do they sit there on the sun lounger with a beer and say "Yeah, thats a great looking specimen of a tree we have here, we must invite the family around for a BBQ so they can all check it out" !!!

 

I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder

 

In an area were the houses are 'at least' £300,000 all with nice mercs up the path etc so money aint the issue.

I cant get over why people do this. Theres a few been done down here recently, one of which was in another post. I dont know if theres a gang going round doing it, but why?? It just looks like half a job!

Lime crown reduction - in the garden of a £450,000 property. Worse thing was these Limes were about 50ft and never been pruned before. This pic was taken a few years back, gonna be in that neighbourhood tomorrow, will get new pics. It'll probably look half decent now being a Lime.....well at least the wounds will be covered by foliage.

I have been told my fencing skills are better than my tree pruning ones tbh

I just cant understand why people would want to look at it/them at all:confused1:

 

As you say will prob look ok now but still is poor though.
