Potentially removing up to 30% total height, leaving stem to regenerate from strong growth points.Second tree (major lean and over-extension of whole crown matrix, due to competitive environment and wind grooming, but also displaying very vigorous upright growth nearer stem) - Reduce all horizontal laterals to uprights, to reset crown.T4; Pine - Fell to near ground level.
