Crown reduction pruning is most often used when a tree has grown too large for its permitted space.
In the illustration the blue area of branches would be removed. This method results in a more natural appearance and increases the time before pruning is needed again and minimizes stress caused to the tree.
Crown reduction can be used to reduce the tree’s wind resistance and its uptake of water.
