Default Re: How to prune.

Thank you for your input Sean

The tree was pretty much a mess, as I said before it had been topped previously and had anywhere from 3-6 codominant leaders coming from each old topping cut. I had to reduce these in order for the tree to have strong branch attatchments in the future that may be why you see so much brush on the ground and it looks so thin inside.

Like I said the root issue with that raised bed around the base of the tree will be taken care of.

I will be taking on this tree from now on, next year will be light endweight reduction and cleaning out deadwood and mabey real light structural pruning.
