EAC Tree Pruning Standard

The European Tree Pruning Standard offers a unified framework for tree care across Europe, emphasizing that pruning should preserve the natural habit and dignity of the tree. It explicitly defines the boundaries between acceptable crown reduction, which maintains the tree's physiological health, and destructive topping, which is categorized as damage. For Yerevan, adopting this standard provides the technical vocabulary needed to legally distinguish between proper maintenance and the vandalism often seen in municipal sanitary pruning contracts.
