Crown Reduction

Crown Reduction is the decreasing of the overall size of the crown, achieved by removing the ends of the branches evenly throughout the crown, by a specified amount, to leave a balanced and maintained shape true to the species.

Often used to:
- More light to pass through the tree
- Reduce the weight of potentially dangerous limbs.
- Balance a misshapen tree, for example, following storm damage, or after bad pruning.
- Prevent trees obstructing or damaging buildings and property.
- Prevent trees from interfering with overhead telephone and power lines.
