As a general guide, no more than around a quarter of a tree's crown should typically be removed in a single visit, though this varies by species and condition.
Why moderation matters
- Removing too much at once can stress an otherwise healthy tree
- A more measured approach allows the tree to recover between visits
- Different species tolerate varying amounts of pruning
We always assess the specific tree before deciding how much can be safely removed.
