Sets out guidelines for pruning of amenity trees. It classifies pruning into two types: crown maintenance which includes the classes of general, formative, selective, deadwooding and thinning and crown modification which includes the classes of reduction, crown lifting, pollarding, remedial and line clearance. It does not include sculptural forms of pruning such as topiary nor does it include safety of the tree worker, wildlife habitat or practices relating to root pruning, chemical pruning, timber, foliage, fruit or flower production.

This Standard describes methods for pruning of trees and encourages correct and uniform practices. It is intended for use on amenity trees and includes formative pruning, hazard reduction, selective pruning and thinning. It does not include practices related to timber, foliage, fruit and flower production, root pruning, chemical pruning nor to sculptural forms of pruning such as topiary hedging and pleaching. The Standard also excludes information on wildlife habitat and safety of the tree worker.
