What is Tree Crown Thinning? – By GGM Landscaping Tree Surgery
Crown thinning is especially important for overgrown trees as it can protect against wind and storm threats, promote overall health through increased airflow, and is a great opportunity to prune back diseased or hazardous branches.
Tree Crown Thinning vs Tree Crown Reduction
It is common to get tree crown thinning and tree crown reduction confused with one another.
Crown thinning removes branches from inside the canopy to increase light and airflow. Crown reduction, on the other hand, directly controls the height and width of the tree by cutting back the outer branches that are most in view.
The great thing about tree crown thinning and crown reduction is that they can be done together, helping you manage your tree’s size while also improving its structure, safety, and airflow.
