The lime I will accept is thinned, that job was out of my hands im a afraid,
but that is more a repollard with retention of foliage/sap risers so a
different kettle of fish. I would also say that the lime is one of the most
adaptive trees and reducing them even to that level is far from problematic.
Were not talking pollards here though are we.
so I will move on to that chestnut, which was done poorly by a previous firm
and had so little internal growth as to defy belief, what looks like thinning
cuts where long skinny poles drop crotched, the only viable method of
reducing on this tree. and in that case also a little thinning would have
encouraged shooting lower down and helped to restore some inner scaffolding
at a later date.
as for the euc, now we have a real issue with your stating its thinned cos
this was not in anyway shape nor form done, In fact I was at the very limit
of pruning points and wieght suspension from a harness it was very ended
loaded and had almost zero internal foliage
so I maintain I do not thin trees as a rule, and you will always be able
select a few images out of hundreds to illustrate your points.
Regarding pruning stress, Oak seem to be more prone to it, particulary when
re reductions are carried out at intervals of less than 8 years. they appear
to respond better to a harder reduction and then being left alone for a
decade or more as apposed to cyclic pruning that is rarely problematic on say
lime beech ash.
next?

Hi Tony
<<How can I comment about each tree? there are so many in that thread!>>
This isn't what I asked
<<as a rule I do not thin, in fact i go to great lengths to avoid it.>>
Really?
How about the first page.
