Windsail Reduction Tree Services

Over the years, growing trees become more wind resistant because of larger canopies and become heavier, so they are prone to increased mechanical stresses and structural failure.  Tree Canopy thinning can reduce the amount of wind resistance in a large tree so the main stem will bend less in high winds, reducing the chance of stem or root failure.

Typically in the Pacific Northwest, large conifer trees can benefit the most from windsail reduction because of their large, often thick canopies.  Windsail reduction is a very common term in the Puget Sound area because of this, and is often actually performed in the wrong way.  Over thinning and  lion-tailing (removing all foliage on a branch except at the end)  can over stress a tree by removing too much canopy, expose the inner portion of the branch to sun scald, weaken individual branches, and promote the formation of water sprouts or suckers that will thicken the canopy in subsequent years.  Thinning and windsailing trees must be done the correct way to avoid these problems.  Trees pruned according to ANSI Standards A300 Part 1 Pruning standards cannot be lion’s tailed because not more than 25% of foliage can be removed in a single year and 50% of the foliage should remain evenly distributed in the lower 66% of the canopy.
