Okay, zuerst nachdenke ich nicht, diesen schönen Baum zu entfernen! Hoffentlich ist dies das richtige Sub für ein bisschen Ratschläge zum Unterhalt.
Ich habe das Haus vor einem Jahr gekauft und es kam mit dieser schönen reifen Zypresse am Ende des Gartens. Es ist weit weg von Strukturen, also mache ich mir keine Sorgen um Schaden.
Meine Plant -ID -App kann sich nicht zwischen Leyland und Lawson Cypress entscheiden, aber Bilder von beiden im Netz scheinen eine schmale konische Form zu zeigen, die dieser mollige Typ definitiv nicht ist!
Ich möchte wissen, ob es eine Wartung/Trennung erfordert, um es gesund zu halten. Es würde mir nichts ausmachen, es ein bisschen abzuschneiden. Mein Bauch sagt mir, dass dies eine sehr lange/schwierige/teure Sache sein würde.
Wenn die beste Option ist, es einfach zu verlassen, ist das auch in Ordnung für mich.

Sadly this tree needs to be removed, I’ll explain why but do get a professional in to confirm my thoughts, look at the 2nd photo or sit under the tree while you read this, there are numerous branches that go up in an arc then start to straighten out but then turn out and repeat the same pattern, arc- straighten-turn out-arc-srighten-turn out eventually there’s sufficient light and the branch develops leaves and heads on upwards.
Once they’re developed and going up they grow fast and compeat with each other for light, 3 or more feet a year is normal with each branch having the potential to grow 60ft.
There’s two reasons for the vertical stem to turn out, looking at the second photo you’ll see both, one is that the branch is in the dark so it’s top lateral gets everything and the original leader (tip) dies, the lateral heads on out for light then turns upward.
The second reason leaves no trace of a leader because someone cut it, leaving the uppermost laterals to turn and become leaders.
Now imagine the single stem original tree, someone cut it at their preferred height, all the top laterals turned and competed with each other for light, now there’s 2 problems!
Problem 1, the new leaders will grow fast, very fast, and they’ll get cut again at a new height, but each of these leaders will now turn their laterals which will inturn grow fast to be the tallest, because of the lack of light in the centre the internal laterals die, as the leaders grow some of their laterals will turn and enter the competition.
Remember these are all horizontal branches on the side of the trunk that have turned upwards, each turn broadens the crown of the tree.
Problem 2, lower laterals under the broarder crown will go further out then turn up and again grow fast, if it doesn’t get enough light it commits everything to another lateral which gouse out and turns up to join the race for light, this continues all over the tree only stopping when the laws of physics kick in at around 70 ft, but almost all the turned laterals that are now competing for light will get to this height in your tree because it’s been cut at inappropriate heights and intervals, you can confirm this with one photo that shows dozens of tops of leaders all at around the same height.
Here’s a photo of a similar species that’s never had the top taken out.

I removed all the laterals to a height of 40ft and leaft the remaining 30 as a crown.
