Mature Beech Tree - Pruning Advice
Hello this is my first post.
I have read many advice threads on this subject and realise it's a sensitive topic...I am trying to attach a picture of the object. My neighbour has asked me to thin/reduce her tree. The tree looks fine to me but she wants less summer shading. I would like to help her as I would like to cut down another of her pine trees which is reducing my light over some fruit trees. Instinct says the tree is fine, but some light thinning/reduction could be possible...it has been pruned before hence the current habbit. Any advice on how I could prudently/sensitively assist are very welcome. Thanks, Malcolm |

Any advice on how I could prudently/sensitively assist are very welcome. If you need to ask this question, I strongly recommend you get a qualified arborist (tree surgeon) to do the job. It is very easy to completely spoil the look of a tree with just one cut in the wrong place. In addition you must consider the risks to life and limb (and property) involved, since a mature beech is a big tree. Gardening on Wilts/Somerset border on slightly alkaline clay. |
