CROWN REDUCTION PRUNING

What is crown reduction pruning?

Crown reduction pruning is a technique that removes weight and length from the end of branches and allows the tree to heal itself back to a healthy, growing lateral branch.

  • Benefits of crown reduction pruning.

  • Reduces the weight of over extending branches.

  • Reduces the length of over extending branches.

  • Reduction cuts are healthier to the tree than heading cuts.

  • Increases tree structural integrity during storms and high wind events.

  • Reduces mechanical stress applied to branches that are poorly attached.

  • Energy in the canopy is directed to increasing fine root growth.

  • Increases in fine root growth can help promote a healthier tree.

  • Increases the amount of trunk wood development in response.

  • Overall decrease in hazard posed by a tree.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS THINK

We were very sad to see our huge Maple go, but we couldn’t have asked for a better company to do the job. Everyone at Parshall was professional, courteous…and the guy who did the tree work knew exactly what he was doing. AA+++…highly recommend!

Cindy Franseen, Homeowner

The Parshall crew’s display was very professional, safe and acrobatic, as they climbed and fell a mature 80 ft. oak tree, some of which hung over our second-story roof. Also, they didn’t crush any of the rhododendrons beneath the tree, were very friendly, courteous, and did a great job cleaning up.

Steven Stinson, Homeowner

We recommend Parshall Tree Care Experts to all of our landscaping clients and work with them to maintain our own (beloved) huge, old maple trees. Fast, reliable, professional & knowledgeable. Your trees will thank you!
