Ash defoliation

Post by robc »

Hi everyone.

Most thing I've read say that mid summer is the best time for defoliation, but is early november too early to defoliate?
I've got an Ash which I plan to defoliate a number of times through the growing season as the leaves are disproportionatly enormous to the size of the tree and I'm keen to get some defoliation out of the way

cheers people
