Veteran trees are usually considered to be trees which have grown beyond full maturity, and as such they require special care to conserve them. Each individual tree is different and  will require its own assessment and appropriate care. A phased crown reduction planned over several years (retrenchment pruning) is often needed to keep these trees safe from collapse without removing too much essential foliage at any one time. We can also provide orchard renovations, tree surveys and  vital report writing
