Garden Designs Using Trees

The lovely people at The Tree Foundation of Kern www.urbanforest.org have provided great information on pruning and topping trees.

They've supplied a guide at

Pruning fir trees is never recommended and is very rarely successful in maintaining them in a good shape.

When you design a garden, plan only to plant them when you have enough space for them to mature.

Take care,

Pete

PS A lot of people get injured lopping trees. Using a tree service that employs a certified arborist is recommended!
