Crown Thinning in Warrington
GET IN TOUCH
Crown thinning is an advanced pruning operation normally carried out on hardwood trees by our professional tree surgeons in Warrington. It involves removing dead and dying branches, branches which are rubbing together and general weaken the structure of the tree. We also offer a crown reduction and a crown lifting service. Crown treatment is essential in fruit tree pruning.
The benefits of crown thinning are:
To improve the trees structure and form
To keep the tree healthy and free of problems
To keep fruit trees productive and flourishing
To allow more light to penetrate through the canopy
To keep the tree free from fungal infection and disease
To reduce the effect of high winds on the tree
To prevent potential storm damage

More Information On Crown Thinning
When crown thinning our tree surgeons in Warrington ensure that any branches growing off another are less than 75% of the diameter of the root branch at the point of attachment. When crown thinning we ensure that we do not leave a collection of smaller branches, shoots and leaves at the very end of the branch ( known as lion tails). Lions tails will lead to epicormic sprouting and will eventually lead to uneven weight distribution in the branch, causing it to break off.
As a general rule, when crown thinning in Warrington we never remove more than 25%-30% of the living crown. If more needs to be removed this should be done in successive years to ensure the health of the tree.
