Advice: Tree Specialists - 22/05/2020 17:18
So i have a huge really old oak tree in my garden.
I recently had it professionally pruned, mainly just to reduce the crown and get rid of the dead wood.
Now the tree has loads of leaves on it every time its windy we are getting lots of branches breaking off. Some of them are a decent size.
Im worried there may now be a problem with the tree as this has never happend before. Yes you get one in a blue moon but its a fair amount now.
My head tells me that now the tree is more "open" its less protected and thats why branches are getting broken. Im not a specialist so i dont really know. Is. this normal? will it eventually stop?
Here are some photos (post pruning from a few weeks ago)
