Pruning large fruit trees

Fruit trees should be categorized and treated to each climate zone they naturally grow in; some may be susceptible to harsh pruning while others are not such as tropical fruit trees. Particular arborist techniques can be used to encourage fruit to grow at the lower canopy allowing easy access for harvesting. 

Remedial works

Trees that have been managed incorrectly lead to structural defects and unwanted formations, when they grow large enough they become hazardous and the common solution is to remove the tree or reduce the height, lowering the risk. With a management plan in place, the height can be reduced without causing further defects such as "lopped tops" and the tree can be retained.

Aesthetic Pruning

Trees can be pruned to obtain perfect symmetry with well balanced canopies and structural form, sometimes trees that grow too large for small spaces can be pruned to minimise the effect on surrounding structures or assets.
