guy i think it just looks that way, unless i misunderstand you

hes left them in the ground and recently retied them. i told him they werent doing much any more and just to get rid of them when it dries out in the spring. one limb has grown through the tie, i removed that limb after the pic was taken, its the lowest horizntal limb on the left

one before pic, 2 after pics and a pic from last year when i thinned the top a little. critique please

found a tree that this would make sense on today. when i do it ill post pics

very good input mike thanks

i may try it with this tree, its going to be done by some one so i can still take pics

im still looking for reasons this is reccomended, so far its all the same argument people use for topping

aestheticly id say leave it alone. it will look ugly when its done. ill try and remember this thread and take a pic after its done. wont know who gets the job till i think dec 7. probably wont be me but thats ok, i dont want it for what it usually goes for

so they want to leave the red stem and reduce the others to approx where the yellow ends

ok here it is

ill try and get some pics when i go down there next week. most of what they subordinate are conifers, red cedar, redwood, spruce, havent seen it on a pine yet. a cable seems like a much better fix mostly. to me anyway.

this is their specs, they know what its going to look like as theyve done others (ive done some for them). no they are not planning to remove the other 2 leads as thats most of the canopy. im trying to figure out for my self why is this practice being used? making topping cuts (they really are)...

i did a bid walk through wednesday and theres a blue spruce about 50 feet tall with 3 main leads. they want to reduce 2 of the leads by 15'.

subordinating it must be. i went through a few of those slide shows and didnt really find anything there. well they are good presentations but not on what im looking for at the moment

can you guys explain the theory/ science behind this. the city of ashland is real big on this. seems odd to me so just looking for input
