He'll talk about crown reconstruction and stuff like that
John

<<I have 3 old veteran oaks [tpo'd] on a business park near me. There are
the usual host of bits and bobs associated with them, such as ganoderma
:(  and the time has come to try and save them through rebalancing and
reducing the crown, so that if they do go, there are no targets around
about.
Has anyone used the 'retrenchment pruning' techinique on
old/veteran/overmature trees in order to create a more compact and
better balanced crown, and if so, how did it turn out.
Comments? Suggestions?>>
