Crown reduction pruning for tree height and safety
John Leaf a Maryland forest ranger and certified arborist explains crown reduction as an alternative to removing lateral branches. Prune back to a lateral branch, limit foliage removed to 24 percent, ensure the cut allows the lateral to assume terminal growth, and avoid stubs. Use three cuts for large limbs and prune in dormancy while avoiding painting wounds unless lightly justified.
