Recurring Tree Trimming & Pruning For Healthy Trees

Tree pruning may seem like an easy and menial task but actually understanding the science and reasoning behind trimming and pruning is key to having a healthy and long lasting tree.

What is included with a normal tree trimming?

Home ownership comes with many responsibilities. One item to not skip is regular trimming and pruning.

Different species and the location of the tree can depend on the frequency of the trimming needs. Here are the basics of tree trimming.

  • Enhancing air and light through the crown via selective branch removal improves tree health and aesthetics.
  • Raising the crown offers clearance, ensuring safety for pedestrians and property.
  • Reducing the crown helps manage tree size, maintaining its natural beauty and preventing property interference.
  • Proper pruning techniques involve strategic cuts to support healthy tree growth without harming the tree.
  • Optimal timing for tree trimming and pruning minimizes stress on the tree, promoting vigorous health.
  • Employing the right tools ensures precise cuts, vital for effective tree care.
  • Avoiding harmful practices like topping ensures trees remain healthy and structurally sound.
  • Addressing safety by removing risky branches protects both the tree and its surroundings.

When Is The Best Time To Trim Trees?

Here is a basic guide to follow on when to trim your trees. We follow arboriculture best practices.

Adjusting your tree care routine seasonally maximizes health and growth. Perform light trimming or remove dead branches anytime to maintain tree vitality.

Winter

During winter's dormancy, prune to encourage robust spring growth, after the season's peak cold.

Summer

Prune to correct growth directions or manage tree size, also an opportune time for addressing visible limb issues.

Spring

Blooming trees benefit from post-bloom pruning, while those flowering in late summer thrive with cuts made in winter or early spring.

Fall

Avoid pruning due to increased fungal activity and slower healing.

What To Look For After My Trees Have Been Trimmed?

After a tree company has trimmed or pruned your home’s trees, be on the lookout for a few things. Besides “looking up” make sure to follow the steps given to you by your arborist on aftercare.

Depending on species and the amount of trimming or pruning you may need to stick to a basic schedule to help make your tree vibrant and healthy for years to come. This may include additional watering or a fertilizer treatment. Remember never add fertilizer to a tree unless advised by a certified arborist or tree care professional.
