What is Crown Thinning?
Crown thinning involves selectively removing internal branches within a tree’s canopy. This includes:
Crossing or rubbing branches
Snapped or damaged limbs
Dead or decaying wood
By carefully thinning the canopy, we can:
Allow more light to reach the garden floor
Reduce the weight and wind resistance (“sail weight”) of the crown
Lower the risk of storm damage
Improve the overall structure and health of the tree
When carried out correctly, crown thinning can give a tree a whole new lease of life.
Healthier trees – Prevents overcrowding and promotes stronger growth.
Safer trees – Reduces the likelihood of branches snapping in high winds.
Brighter gardens – Lets more sunlight filter through to lawns, plants, and garden spaces.
Long-term benefits – Extends the lifespan of the tree while keeping it manageable.
