More about Tree Pruning: Tree Pruning is an overall term to describe the range of purposes and methods to selectively remove branches from a tree. generally, pruning is carried out to lessen the volume or spread of a tree to a variable extent to appease a human centred outcome. However, there are other circumstances regarding a trees health or surrounding ecosystem that will also cause reason for pruning.
Types of pruning recognised within arboriculture include, crown reduction, pollarding, thinning, lifting and dead wooding.
Both the type of pruning required and the amount of pruning carried out on a tree will depend on a number of factors.
– The size and condition of the tree will be a significant determinant of how much wood can be removed.

– A trees surroundings is usually a cause for tree pruning. proximity to buildings, human traffic, roadsides and living spaces will tend to bring a trees size, overhang or shadowing into concern.
– Tree protections. If a tree has a Tree preservation order placed on it or it exists within a conservation zone. The extent to which the tree can be pruned will be restricted to how much a local authority will allow. To prune or wilfully damage a tree under such restrictions is a crime.
Types of Pruning
Crown Reduction is the process where the height and a spread of a tree is reduced by a specific amount around the entirety of the tree. A good crown reduction will retain the symmetrical balance of the tree by ensuring that the amount reduced from each branch ensures a consistent shape is maintained all around. Crown reductions can lessen concerns around stress caused by excess weight and spread, overshadowing, extension of roots to surrounding area.
Crown Thinning involves the cutting of an entire limb or branch back to its point of origin.
Crown Lifting is the removal of branches from the lower portion of the tree. It can increase light and space below a tree. Although lifting can solve a number of issues from aesthetics to opening up space, there can be a tendency to lift trees past what is healthy. Trees require some growth in the lower portions for wind buffering. A trees stability in the long term must always be considered when considering prospective works.
Aesthetics is an important part of Pruning. However, tree pruning must be carried out with an underlying understanding of tree Biology to avoid irreversible damage that can dramatically shorten the life of a tree.
Although tree pruning can solve many issues, if the work is carried out incorrectly pruning can lead a tree into greater susceptibility to infection and decay, unbalance and un-sightliness. The tree must be pruned in a way that is is capable of healing and staying healthy, despite the shock of the pruning work.
