Today we safely completed the removal of a very mature dead Sycamore affected by sooty bark disease — a challenging and high-risk job in a conservation area with a Tree Preservation Order in place.

Sooty bark disease can be extremely dangerous, releasing harmful spores that pose serious health risks when disturbed, so full PPE and strict safety measures were essential throughout the work. With a chicken coop directly beneath the tree, extra care and precision were needed to safely dismantle the tree.

We handled the entire process with the council and completed the job safely and professionally.

Another difficult job completed by the Gildergreen Tree Surgery team 🌳💪

🌳✨ Winter Crown Reduction on a Horse Chestnut — Here’s Why It’s the Perfect Time ✨🌳

Today we carried out a crown reduction on this beautiful horse chestnut, and winter is exactly when this kind of work should be done.

During the dormant season, the tree is resting — meaning less sap flow, reduced stress, and a much quicker recovery. With the leaves off, we also get a clearer view of the branch structure, allowing for more precise and balanced pruning. Plus, winter pruning helps prevent the spread of diseases like bleeding canker, which are more active in warmer months.

A well-executed crown reduction helps improve the tree’s shape, manage its size, and reduce the risk of storm damage, all while keeping it healthy for years to come.

Caring for trees isn’t just maintenance — it’s preservation. 🌱💚

Oak reduction we completed today in Bletchley 🌳

Winter is the best time to prune trees because they are dormant, which makes them less vulnerable to pests, diseases and it is easier to see the structure of the tree for more accurate pruning ❄️
