Crown care
Crown care (or thinning ) is care for healthy, adult trees . This prevents undesirable developments (e.g. excessive lengths of branches , twill formation ) or eliminates them and removes parts that cannot develop. This is done by lighting predominantly in the fine and low-load areas (up to 5 cm in diameter). Crown care serves to maintain and improve the living conditions of the tree in the long term. Crown care can also prevent felling.
Crown care involves cutting off or removing sick, dying, dead, crossing or rubbing twigs and branches. Spreading or overhanging branches can also be affected. The material can be removed from all parts of the crown. Maintenance is carried out approximately every five to ten years.
