Crown lifting - the removal of lower branches to "lift" the lower crown level so as to remove growth causing an obstruction or allow the improved passage of daylight beneath the tree.
Crown reduction and reshaping - pruning to reduce the height and width by a given measurement, cutting back to suitable secondary or tertiary shoots in order to reshape the crown. This approach may be required where space is limited or a tree exhibiting defects can be retained with less branch weight and wind resistance.
Crown thinning - pruning the secondary branch structure to remove a given percentage of crown density whilst retaining the outer canopy shape unaltered. This pruning assists in improving the passage of daylight through the crown.
Crown cleaning- the removal of dead wood, abrading and crossing branches, overcrowded or congested growth and epicormic shoots including basal suckers.
