Tree pruning is an important tree care practice that can help your trees live longer, healthier lives while allowing them to retain a pleasing natural appearance. Â Regular tree pruning provides many benefits to trees such as:
- Removing damaged, dead or diseased branches that can create dangerous situations if they fall during severe weather or storms
- Promoting new growth and better air circulation within the tree crown
- Reducing the height of the tree
- Allowing more natural sunlight to reach plants underneath
- Shaping a tree for design purposes
Certain species of trees should only be pruned during specific times of the year, however many species of shade trees can be pruned at any time. In addition, there are certain aspects of tree pruning that need to be considered when pruning mature trees versus younger trees.
