When the branch of a tree is cut, the tree develops special callous tissue along the lines of a scar that covers wounds to prevent tooth decay and disease. The scars on that tree will always be there, but if you prune it properly, the tree itself can survive. It's hard to find a happy medium with pruning. Trim too little and you'll leave stubborn branches.
Cut too much and you can threaten the structure and health of the plant. Extendable mast saw with chain drive & Pruner (7 feet to 16 feet) Travel approximately 18 inches down the bottom of the branch you are removing. This is the perfect spot for your first incision. Cut approximately halfway through the branch. Since the goal is not to change the size or shape of the tree, the thinning must be constant throughout the tree.
You should only remove 10 to 20 percent of the tree branches from the edge of the canopy. Large trees benefit by removing the end parts of branches that are between 1 and 4 inches in diameter. Small ornamental landscape trees and fruit trees can be thinned by removing smaller branches that are between ¼ and ½ inch thick. You should prune the trees to thin the crown, so that the tree still looks completely unpruned. When tree branches are cut, wounds are created that can act as open doors to disease.
To avoid this, trees naturally seal wounds after pruning, although they don't actually heal them. Instead, fresh tissue grows to cover wounds and protect them from tooth decay and disease. If you remove a branch completely, you must leave the neck of the branch, which is the swollen area where the tree branch emerges from the trunk. This makes the pruning wound manageable, while a flush cut creates a larger wound that is more difficult for the tree to seal. It could be that all the branches where the new growth would sprout were cut off.
If so, this may cause a delay as the tree responds. Removing branches by pruning normally wouldn't kill a tree in a round. However, everything is possible if the cuts were severe or if they were made in a way that damaged the tree's ability to recover. Without seeing the tree it's hard to tell. Every pruning cut made on a tree is a wound, but a correct pruning cut allows the tree to seal the injured area and prevents insects and diseases from taking hold inside the tree. While it may look clean and stylized, a flush cut eliminates the neck of the branch, an area of tissue needed to form a seal over the pruning cut.
If you've ever seen a cut forsythia or a tree in the crown, then you'll know that cuts on the head generally don't work well. If you want to be sure before you decide to reduce it, consult with a “certified arborist” who can give you an accurate evaluation without any incentive to earn a fee to reduce it. If you don't like the bushy look of new branches below, you can cut them off but you'll see that in a short time you'll have more new growth around where you just removed (the new bushy growth area). It appeared as if it was first bud of tree, grew upwards and developed lateral (lateral) branches that form structure of tree's crown. He cut top of tree about 5 feet higher than fork, on both forks he cut everything but about 3 feet.
The tree appears healthy; it has grown at base and branches are growing but it will not grow. One of these mysteries is why branch will die and branch right next to it will be perfectly healthy and will flourish. In most cases, tree reacts by sending piglet shoots from where cuts were made to form new branches. Drastically altering height or structure of large tree will cause it to respond in such way that new branch will quickly sprout to replace what has been removed. The only thing I suggest doing is reducing number of branches pushing it and preventing its growth. Depending on crown of tree and its branch structure, best to remove large diameter branch by cutting it to trunk. If you were to cut lower part of shrub would you send nutrients to tree to grow or would you have lost it completely? Depending on where you live also important to prune trees to thin out dead branches and limbs before hurricane season.
