The northern wind, Menorca's famed Tramuntana, sculpts the island's trees. A tree with an overly dense canopy acts like a ship's sail, placing immense mechanical stress on its main trunk and root anchor system during violent winter storms.
Technical Canopy Thinning: Letting the Wind Flow
Canopy thinning removes congested internal branches, vigorous water shoots, and deadwood, allowing severe wind gusts to filter freely through the canopy without exerting destructive force. This eliminates sudden limb tears over villas, swimming pools, or pergolas.
