Pruning: Aggressive crown thinning for more sun for a Garden & a house
This pruning job is about as aggressive as I’m willing to get… The client has a vegatble garden, as well as a house that’s heavily shaded by this tree, so 35% of the branches were pruned away to create more light…
This pruning style is also a valuable way to protect trees from being blown over by storm winds…
Look carefully and notice that the entire length of the tree still has green branches… It’s just that only the branches that least blocked the sunlight were kept.
