I've recently been gifted this lovely English Elm. Its a bit more developed than some of my other material and am looking for advice as to how best improve the neatness and image of the ramification. The tree looks to have been hedge pruned for a few seasons causing crossing branches etc. I was told the tree was repotted last year.
Would it be best to hard prune to rebuild from secondary and tertiary branches or be more cautious only pruning dead branches and obvious flaws to slowly refine, working with whats already there?
Any other advice for the general maintenance of a more dense canopy like this would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Jamie
