 Re: What do you think of this pruning?
If you were to pollard a tree, then that would be the best way to try, cut off both sides of the co-dominant.
Now I drive past this every day. If it were done to create clearance for building etc then the argument is ... is it better than having big wounds at the trunk?
The branches as you can see by the unpruned side dont offer much of a drop crotch situation. So, whether clearance or crown lift you would end up with >12"dia wounds at the trunk, and for albizia that is bad.
The obvious solution was the TPZ, they should have allowed enough room for an unbutchered canopy. |
