Reduction pruning or topping? Pruning a couple big Douglas Fir's

What's up my tree people! In this video I am pruning a couple Douglas Fir's. One in particular has a very heavy lean towards a neighbors house and our main objective is to prune for end weight to prevent failure on this particular tree. Some reduction was needed to accomplish this goal which leaves us with the question, is it reduction or topping?

Technical & tricky crown reduction. The end result looks good bro! I was reading in the Australian ArborAge magazine recently...if you do selective branch removal to reduce the crown height by 5% it can reduce the loading in the root zone approx 40 - 45 % in bigger Eucalyptus species. I am not sure how the consulting arborist quantified the measurement, but interesting.

That’s amazing! it’s crazy how removing a little leverage makes a huge impact. Thanks for sharing I am definitely keeping that in my notes. Cheers brother!!!
