A dense, overloaded canopy catches wind like a sail. Crown thinning selectively removes some of the smaller interior branches so air can move through the tree instead of pushing against it.
Done correctly, thinning doesn't leave a tree looking hacked or lopsided. It's a targeted process that opens up the canopy while keeping the tree's natural shape and the leaf coverage it needs to stay healthy.
We see the best results on mature shade trees around Baltimore and York County homes, especially ones with a history of shedding limbs in strong wind. It's a preventative step, not a reaction to damage that's already happened.
Have you noticed any of your trees dropping small limbs during windy stretches this year?
