Crown thinning is a pruning technique primarily used on hardwood trees.
Crown thinning is the selective removal of stems and branches to increase light penetration and air movement throughout the crown of a tree.

The intent is to improve a tree’s structure and form while making life uncomfortable for tree pests.
