Check out this Oak!
We recently pruned this Oak tree for a client who was concerned that the tree was too big and may fall over, it was also blocking too much sunlight for them, and the overhanging branches were annoying the neighbours and also blocking their sunlight. The client was also having difficulty walking underneath the tree to mow the lawns and the branches interfered with them sitting at their outdoor table setting at the base of the tree.
We performed the following techniques so the client could once again get enjoyment from their tree, and the tree got a good dose of love and attention.
Crown lift - we removed the lower branches to provide for better clearance and access underneath for walking, mowing, and sitting under. We also lifted the canopy clear of and over the boundary fences to limit any future potential damage to these, and removed the branches that were overhanging the neighbours.
Crown reduction - we reduced the overall size of the canopy as it was quite large and the client was concerned about risk of failure and the amount of sunlight it was blocking.
Crown thin - we thinned out the internal canopy which improves air flow that reduces air resistance, and allows sunlight to penetrate through the branches.
Crown shape - we removed excess branches to improve the overall appearance by giving it more form and balance, ensuring an evenly weighted canopy.
All of these practices can promote the health, safety and appearance of your trees for years to come.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
