A reduction cut may be performed while still allowing about 50% of the branch. This is done to help maintain form and deter the formation of co-dominant leaders.

The aim of both the mechanical and the manual cutting system, is to let the shrubs grow into a closed hedge.

The manual cutting removes the oldest shoots, the weak annual shoots and those shoots that are ...

While the perceived risk of death by falling trees (a part of the "tree risk" complex) is influenced by media and often hyped (the objective risk has been reported to be close to 1 : 10.000.000, almost as low as death by lightning), [6] singular events have encouraged a "proactive" stance so that even lightly damaged trees are likely to be removed in urban and public traffic surroundings.
