    the whitebeam may benefit from a light crown reduction say 1m - this will help reduce the chance of it failing in the next wind

    some pic would be handy Two Acres

    If it was straight and now its leaning - its moved - it could go at the root plate or if the roots have mostly rotted, the trunk fails at ground level.

    first impression - the whitebeam sounds well dodgy
  9. Paul Cleaver
    sounds terrible - why the SSSI - I hope any drastic measures wont affect the reason for the SSSI what ever that may be

    Tree Pruning

    Paul Cleaver replied to a topic in General chat

    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

    when straight felling a tree other tree surgeon have quoted for for stripping out first. I go through a check list in my head 2 -3 times and if im confident every time I will do it. If im iffy on something - I wont.

    The US is slow to adopt that proven guideline, as it might get in the way of production, and challenges the myth that collar cut = proper pruning. WHAT!!! Alex Shigo must be turning in his grave. It must be very frustrating for you in the US bud

    its a cherry plum - the foliage looks healthy but its probably being fed from energy reserves - for the species type I would say not looking good to be honest and no sign of reactive wood as yet - trim away the dead bark as said and see what its like next year - I always like to give a tree a chance

    burning up from a tree I felled in my own garden last week, and taking down an old shed - currently listening to the kings of leon - will hit the vodka soon tomorrow metal detecting
