| Crown Reduction |
|
This is the reduction in the overall bulk or the hight of the crown. This is usually associated with a percentage figure, which tells you how much of the crown will disappear. This can alter the overall height of the tree but retain the natural shape of the species, i.e. a large squat tree becomes a small squat tree. A reduction may be necessary to reduce the water demand of the tree, reduce/halt its root activity. Reduce the risk of wind throw (storm damage); reduce the risk of branch failure; reduce the amount of light the tree blocks out and improve the shape of the tree or the need to re-balance the crown. |
