Formative Pruning Services in West London

Formative pruning is carried out in the first 10 years of a tree’s life to ensure a healthy structure to the scaffold branches within the crown.  It is the selective shortening or removal of branches to minimise the chances of crossing branches, acute angled branch unions and codominant stems.  Formative pruning gives a sapling the best chance of becoming a balanced and structurally sound tree.
