Expert Tree Crown Thinning Tilbury

Why do we carry out tree crown thinning? The benefits of this pruning method are that it helps to enhance air flow and light penetration through a tree’s branches which strengthens the tree and helps it stay healthy. A thinned out crown makes it easier to see whether there is any decay or disease within a tree, and hazardous branches are easier to spot.

Light crown thinning for taller, bushier fruit trees usually works well but our specialists will confirm the best course of action once they have surveyed the tree.

When is the best time for tree crown thinning in Tilbury?

Tree crown thinning is best avoided during these periods:

The active growing season: This usually falls between late spring and early winter. Pruning a tree during this these times will usually result in it bleeding sap. This attracts bugs and disease. Any urgent work required to make a tree safe or treat disease can proceed, but only under expert management.

It is essential to bear in mind that the active growing seasons for the various species of trees do vary. Our news and tree ID pages provide useful guidance on the optimum time to prune your particular tree, or you can contact us for individual advice.

The bird nesting season: Between February and August birds will usually be nesting in most trees. It is therefore not permitted to carry out any sort of tree work, unless as before it is a genuine emergency. There are laws protecting nesting birds and it is always wise to check for nests in use outside of the official nesting season.

You will also need to speak to the local authority TPO register to find out whether your tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO). If so then the volume of crown thinning allowed will be limited and permission will be needed from your local authority to go ahead with the work. This can take up to eight weeks to be granted.
