Appearance in the landscape is essential to a plant's usefulness. Still,
there are a lot of reasons as to why one should prune their trees. Here are
some of those:
·
Aesthetics. Tree pruning services effectively helps to
maintain its shape and appearance. However, you shouldn’t try to impose an
unnatural shape or size on a tree. For most landscapes, a plant's natural form
is best. This is why one should avoid shearing shrubs into tight geometrical
forms that can adversely affect flowering unless it needs to be confined or
trained for a specific purpose. The amount of trimming and pruning that will be
needed could seriously damage it.
·
Seasonal problems. Tree pruning services during dormancy is the most common practice. It
results in a vigorous burst of new growth in the spring and should be used if
that is the desired effect. It is usually best to wait until the coldest part
of winter has passed. Some species, such as maple, walnuts and birches, may
“bleed”—when the sap begins to flow. This is not harmful and will cease when
the tree leafs out.
·
Health. It is sometimes possible to save an infected tree by strategically
pruning away affected branches and limbs. Thinning the crown of a tree improves
airflow can also be very beneficial. If branches are crossing or rubbing
together, they should be trimmed so that they don’t fall unexpectedly.
Once you have decided to prune trees, there are things you have to consider
according to professionals in tree pruning services:
- Young trees
pruned improperly or not pruned at all for several years may require heavy
pruning to remove bigger branches to prevent trees from becoming deformed.
- At planting,
remove only diseased, dead, or broken branches.
- Begin training
a plant during the dormant season following planting.
·
Prune to shape young trees, but don't cut back the leader.
·
Remove crossing branches and branches that grow back towards the center of
the tree.
·
As young trees grow, remove lower branches gradually to raise the crown,
and remove branches that are too closely spaced on the trunk.
·
Remove multiple leaders on evergreens and other trees where a single leader
is desirable.
