Thank you, do you think the stability of the tree could be affected if it is left as it is as it is a bit top heavy? I'm no tree expert! We are in a conservation area and I know the neighbours did not seek council's permission to prune the tree and being our favourite tree in our garden we are really sad about the branch loss and loss of privacy too. As such we are keen to maintain the tree as much as possible but only if it is safe to do so. Thank you in advance for any further thoughts -

Can excessive pruning cause branch loss?

Thank you everyone, very helpful. My husband took pictures this morning so as soon as I can get them I will upload. Snapping due wind exposure sounds very likely as I now know each fallen branch has cracked right through the middle and the centre of the tree is now exposed to North winds Andy e ranches often fall after a particularly wet and windy day/night. If this is the case, any idea of what, if any, action we should take? Thank you! -

We have what I understand to be a Gold Crest in our North East facing garden. It is a mature tree, taller than the house. It is on the boundary of our garden and our neighbours removed all overhanging branches right up to but not including the crown. Since then the corresponding branches on our side of the fence have all fallen off. Is it possible that the tree is 'balancing' itself out due to the excessive pruning or is the loss of multiple branches more likely to be due to disease? There are no obvious signs of disease and foliage on fallen branches is green. I can upload photos another time if needed I am just keen for any thoughts sooner rather than later in case I should take urgent action. Many thanks for any advice!
