Reasons to Trim and Prune Your Trees
Tree pruning and trimming are necessary to ensure:
- A tree's appearance
- A tree's health
- Safe conditions
How Trimming and Pruning Differ
Trimming achieves the desired shape and overall appearance of a tree. This tree service can also promote optimum health by reducing branch density that prevents parts of a tree from gaining access to moisture, light and nutrients from the sun.
Tree pruning can also provide shape enhancement, but it is primarily necessary to remove diseased branches, prevent branches from growing into each other, and encourage flowers and fruits.
Are There Optimum Times To Trim and Prune Trees?
Trimming can happen once or twice per year to achieve your desired appearance; however, pruning must occur at specific times according to the species. For example, arborist trim spring-blooming trees mid-summer after their blooming cycle. On the other hand, summer fruit and flower-bearing trees benefit from winter or spring pruning.
When Might an Arborist Recommend Tree Removal?
Arborists recommend removing trees with extensive trunk damage or vast areas of dead branches and roots because they are not stable and pose safety hazards.
