a much wiser option is to just pay the one off price for removal it and replace with a Rowan tree which won’t grow tall .

 

I hear you, but it will cost an arm and a leg to remove

Well, the thread did become amusing too

Ok , I would suggest reduce height to this pic. You cannot reduce the sides as it will leave it looking bare (dead inner foliage ,that wont re shoot)

This makes sense. The two sides aren't on display, so it doesn't matter if they are open/bare, as weird as that sounds. Cos they are between buildings

Many thanks!

That's problem. I am struggling to find some kind of images of what it would look like.

Is there a tree surgery disaster page or horror-client page anywhere?! ?

Many thanks Mick - your frank answer is appreciated!!

Taking down something that big also sounds very/too expensive I'm guessing

They were right, take it out.

But why, is it the look? What would/could it look like?

I think there are a few major branches that need to come off too, to reduce bulk, but it's the top I am lost by...

Ok, I think it's more like 10meters now, but here are the photos. She's out of control now, like a big ice cream

I took two sides and I also took bark pictures, as maybe it helps you know what it is.

Thanks again

Hello,

I have been told several times to just cut down an entire 8m tall conifer tree, explicitly because they said that they couldn't make it look nice.

I don't want to get rid of the tree and just wanted them to top it. Does anyone have any good photos of large topped conifers, especially those that started off teardrop/candle bulb shaped.

I know that a straight line cut off the top will look odd at first, but I am interested in how it pans out over time, how it would look to start, etc.

any guidance appreciated!!

Thank you!

(I can share a photo soon)
