How many of you recommend and preform thinning (interior foliage removal) on yard trees? Is it species specific? A client had a company recommend that he should thin his magnolias. I’m open to changing my opinion that thinning is not necessary. The tree will self thin if a branch is not productive. I’m aware of the research that both supports and opposes (mostly opposes) thinning. I don’t subscribe necessarily to “nature knows best”. Nature may want the magnolia taken down to feed fungus. The owner wants to keep it standing.
What do you say regarding thinning?
