Tree pruning is a process that removes unnecessary branches, along with those that are dead or diseased. It is also a way to shape and thin out trees to improve their health and structure. Pruning is also a way to allow the lower hanging branches to receive more sunlight and encourage growth, as well as the production of fruit in fruit trees.
Tree pruning differs from tree trimming because it is done less frequently, ideally about every two to three years. It is more common with shrubs and ornamental trees that provide fruit or shade. Pruning is necessary not just to make your trees shapely and beautiful; it will also reduce the risk of disease, make your tree more insect-resistant, and remove any dead branches that can pose a hazard during high winds and storms.
There is a right way and a wrong way to prune trees. If you prune incorrectly, you can actually do more harm than good. It takes expertise, training, and most importantly, the right equipment to get to heights and hard-to-reach branches. Tree pruning is not a great do-it-yourself project, because getting to the high branches is dangerous if you don’t know what you are doing and don’t have safety measures in place.
