WHY SHOULD I REDUCE OR RESHAPE TREES OR BUSHES?
Additionally, reshaping trees or bushes can be a great idea when you are thinking of reducing the likelihood of them falling over in high winds.
By re-shaping trees or bushes into custom styles can enhance the visual appeal of the tree, by removing branching. If a tree outgrows its natural area, you may want to make a tree smaller. If you want to let more light into the forest floor, you can also remove branches so that more light travels through a tree and to get rid of diseased limbs.
HOW CAN I REDUCE OR RESHAPE TREES OR BUSHES?
• PRUNING: One of the least severe forms of tree reduction and reshaping. Pruning is a good way to make a tree slightly smaller, reducing its wind resistance and removing diseased or damaged wood.
• CROWN REDUCTION: Crown reduction is when you remove around 30% from the outside of a tree. This is usually done to reduce the height and/or spread of a tree that has become too big.
• RESHAPING: Reshaping generally refers to altering the shape of a tree in some way. It’s also a way to reduce a tree’s size, so is often referred to as crown reduction.
• POLLARDING: You may have heard pollarding described as an extreme form of pruning. This involves cutting the main branches relatively close to the stem, usually to reduce the tree’s size.
• CROWN LIFTING AND THINNING: Crown lifting or raising is when you remove a tree’s lower branches to make more space underneath it. The term crown thinning refers to when you remove up to 30% of branches from all parts of the tree to reduce its density.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BUSH RESHAPING AND TREE REDUCING in Hitchin?
• An opportunity to remove deadwood from the plant while controlling the growth, minimising the risks of dead branches causing damage by falling.
• Pruning can also prevent pests from spreading by reducing the density of the crown and stopping overcrowded branches from rubbing up against each other.
• Reducing or reshaping trees in Hitchin can actually encourage new growth, leading to healthier flowering while strengthening the existing branches.
