Crown reduction is the reduction in the overall height and spread of the tree canopy. When reducing a trees crown it is normally described in a percentage of reduction, 10% 20% 30% etc.

Crown reduction also includes the additional arboricultural practices, for example:

Crown thinning: Maintaining the crown size whilst removing by careful selection foliage within the crown, this is also quantified by percentages.

Crown lifting: Raising the crown to allow more light to ground vegetation below the tree, allowing head room for pedestrians, traffic etc or balancing the trees crown.
