Thinning the crown of a tree
Is it possible to thin a tree's crown without changing its natural shape? Is there a special term for this?
Expert Trade Answers
Best Answer
"a tree can be reduced up to 30 % but this has to be consistent throughout the tree , not to reduce one side only.
The type and shape of the tree are factors that should also be considered"

"Crown thinning is the removal of a portion of smaller/tertiary branches, usually at the outer crown, to produce a uniform density of foliage around an evenly spaced branch structure. It is usually confined to broad-leaved species. Crown thinning does not alter the overall size or shape of the tree."
