Tree Pruning

[Guest treeys]

The term used in the tree care industry for pruning is “thinning”. Thinning is key to maintaining a landscape tree’s safety. It includes removal of branches that grow downward and/or cross each other, removal of deadwood, raise the canopy (as needed), and clear any structure the tree may be growing too close to. The goal, while thinning, is to preserve the natural shape of the tree as much as possible. You will have a filtered view of the sky. Most routine pruning can be done at any time of the year with little effect on the tree. do u have any query regarding Tree Pruning you can contact us at (925) 838-(8733)

So doing a reduction is really thinning......thought I'd being doing something wrong

[sloth]

Blatant spam, misinformation and poor grammar/spelling...

Surely to retain the "natural" shape of the tree you would not thin or prune at all. You'd just leave it to do it's own thing.

Can you come and prune my trees?

 

 

I live in Manchester and appreciate it's a long way to come, but since you are so knowledgeable in tree 'thinning' I think its best we employ someone like you.

you are confusing formative pruning with thinning - crown thinning is removing a balanced proportion of the crown to allow more light through the canopy and reduce the chance of windthrow.

 

the other time you will see the term thinning is in a forestry / woodland situation where whole trees are felled to promote the growth of the remaining ones

Hi Paul,

 

At a previous event I attended where Frank Rhin(?) presented, I'm sure he suggested that a crown thin would have to be extensive, 40-50%, to be effective as a means of reducing sail area and reducing windthrow.

 

Hence crown reduction is usually the way to go...would you agree?

 

BTW thanks again for yesterday, Picton Castle Gardens is one of Wale's "Best kept secrets"...oops

 

Cheers..
