Velp. The assignment was to reduce a 20 meter high lime tree. Until recently, this lime tree stood between a grove of even taller Norway spruce and had therefore grown considerably taller. The linden and the plane tree are tree species that require thorough pruning. Things can be even better at the plane tree. Linden trees have a tendency to rot due to the soft wood. Old lime trees are therefore almost always hollow. If heavy pruning of trees is desired, it is always a good idea to spread the pruning over several years. This allows the tree to recover better after each pruning. If there are no compelling reasons, tree pruning is not recommended. Important to know: crowning, the removal of the lower branches of a tree, makes a tree less stable during a storm.
