TREE PRUNING

What Does Pruning Actually Mean? The Value, Advantages, and Techniques of Pruning

Trees in the forest are allowed to follow their own set of rules. They can spread their limbs widely, extend their branches as high as they can go, and send weakened, old limbs falling freely to the forest floor.

For good reason, the trees that line our streets and backyards don't have quite as much freedom. Naturally, we want our trees to appear natural, but we also want to make sure they grow strong and don't pose a risk to people's safety.

And here's where trimming comes into play! Even if you may be aware of the phrase and its connection to tree trimming, continue reading to find out the precise definition of pruning, its purposes, and its methods.

Pruning is the process of removing specific branches from a tree. The objectives are eliminating undesirable branches, enhancing the tree's structure, and guiding fresh, healthy growth.

What advantages does pruning offer?

One of the best things you can do for your trees is pruning. Pruning your plants properly is an investment in their long-term health as well as the general appearance and security of your property.

The tree can survive for years in this condition, but one day a strong wind or storm will force it to shatter and could pose danger. If the tree falls near a building or structure, it will cause damage. Most insurance policies will not cover damage caused by a dead tree. If you suspect your tree is dead, please contact us so we can inspect it. We will be able to propose the best tree service, whether it is complete removal or tree cutting.
If a tree has been severely damaged after a storm, such as a trunk breaking down the center, we will always recommend that it be removed from your property. Though the tree is still alive and may grow, exposing the inner wood makes it more susceptible to diseases. This weakens the tree in the long run. In the worst-case scenario, the tree's branches may perish one by one. While the tree appears healthy, sections of it are dead. Our arborists recommend that such damaged trees be removed due to the dangers they might create.
If a tree is in the way of a construction project or you just need land cleared, we can have the tree removed. In some cases, we do not need to destroy them. We are happy to dig them up and transfer them as needed! We like to avoid killing healthy trees.

All of these advantages come from tree trimming!

Different Kinds of Pruning

Different tree goals require different approaches to tree cutting. The most prevalent kinds are broken down as follows:

Limbs are removed by decreasing density all the way back to the original branch. This technique allows more sunshine to penetrate through a fully cover.
Retaining health is like to pruning a tree. To give the tree a polished appearance, dead, diseased, and broken limbs are removed using simple cuts.
Trees with size management cuts have less height or breadth. Usually, this technique minimizes a widely dispersed tree or shortens branches that are creeping into utility lines.
These methods may be used in structural (subordination) cuts in order to enhance the long-term health and structure of a plant.
