Drop Crotch Pruning across Leicestershire and Rutland
Designed to keep the natural look of the tree, drop-crotch pruning thins and reduces the overall size of the tree. The branches are cut back to a natural crotch or branch rather than cut back to a stub. This means existing branches will act as leaders. It is always preferable to use this pruning technique in preference to topping a tree.
We don't recommend tree-topping, as it hurts trees. The crop of shoots often seen erupting after topping is because the tree has been stripped of foliage and therefore deprived of food. Topping can cause decay, and make trees look ugly. It is a high-maintenance practice with hidden costs, which could cost you far more in the long run than hiring a qualified arborist.
