Crown Reduction and Shaping<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crown reduction pruning is most often used when a tree has grown too large for its permitted space.In the illustration the blue area of branches would be removed. This method results in a more natural appearance and increases the time before pruning is needed again and minimizes stress caused to the tree.Crown reduction can be used to reduce the tree\u2019s wind resistance and its uptake of water.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Crown Thinning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crown thinning is a pruning technique primarily used on hardwood trees. Crown thinning is the selective removal of stems and branches to increase light penetration and air movement throughout the crown of a tree.The intent is to improve a tree\u2019s structure and form while making life uncomfortable for tree pests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Pollarding<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the practice where a tree is maintained at a specific height. Traditionally trees have been maintained at a height of twenty to thirty feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A large maturing tree can be kept small when pollard techniques are used.Using this method a trees water uptake can be reduced.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
