Janey how to you prune yours because we have some that could do with some work, you don't take the top out, or do you? I would be interested to hear...

This one is finer boned than my other Betula which I had lopped last winter and now has a huge canopy; this winter I shall have it taken right down, probably use the stump as a base for a bird house or table. It's a shame, as I love birches, but had been a wild sapling from our old place and far too large for my garden.

The Golden Birch I will have the top taken out, but also the branches thinned, I need to be able to manage it myself. It really is a lovely tree but has grown sky high with the wet spring then our summer heat...
