Tree Crown Reduction

 A crown reduction is a pruning technique that removes weight from the end of branches back to a healthy, growing lateral branch, which will form a new crown.

The process reduces long, heavy, or overextended branches, as well as removing any branches with significant defects. The result is a smaller crown, without reducing the structural integrity of the tree.

FEATURES OF A CROWN REDUCTION

  • Removes a branch back to a healthy, growing lateral branch. This branch will become part of the new crown.
  • Leaves smaller cuts so there is less area for decay to enter.
  • Removes less of the live crown, so less shock is caused to the tree.
  • Balances the crown and leaves two-thirds of the crown remaining after a completed reduction

At Action Yard & Tree, we specialize in crown reductions of mature trees and have performed this pruning technique on hundreds of trees.
