Cut linden - that's how it's done
A linden tree in the garden is a beautiful thing - it is very well-balanced with its balanced growth and provides pleasant shade - but its lush crown can also be a bit expansive. Then a cutback is announced.
The dimensions of the lime crown
In Linden, which are in local gardens, it is usually to domestic varieties such as summer, winter or silver lime. Their stature heights can reach up to 30 meters - that alone is no longer really proportionate for some garden. Even more problematic, however, may be the spreading growth of the treetop. Up to 15 meters, the linden branches can expand in width. As beautiful as the shade under the light green bracts is - with such expansion, possibly even to the neighbor's side, a cutback is due.
The cutback compatibility of Linden
Generally Linden are not particularly in need of care. And they also shine with uncomplicatedness when it comes to the subject of pruning. As a rule, they can easily handle the crown cut. In addition, they respond to him with a strong rebuff - with regular support you can also use them to accurately defined trellises.
How to cut?
The ideal time for the Lindenrückschnitt is the fall before the first frost. Here you can also make radical Stutzungen.
How to cut is always roughly based on the same rules. Whether you only want to reduce the crown of a solitary, shady specimen or to create elaborate row plantings is only a question of detailed execution. Basically:
rough work
For the rough removal of thick, old branches, you can use a chainsaw or a hand-held hacksaw. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the tool - because even if the Linde cuts wounds generally well, fungal infections in dirty residues can not be ruled out.
fine work
For the sharpening of the outer contours is an electric hedge trimmer or smaller trees, which are to be educated to defined trellises, even smaller hand-hedge trimmers. Again, it is important to pay attention to the cleanliness of the blades - it is best to disinfect them before work. In addition, the cutting tools should be well sharpened and close precisely so that no bruising occurs during cutting.
