Myths And Dangers Surrounding Tree Pruning
Pruning of a tree is meant to be a positive, natural occurrence. It’s something that is done to protect your tree overtime and make it’s appearance more beautiful. However there is a negative side if done incorrectly. The consequences can be heavy.
Over-Pruning is the biggest culprit when it comes to permanent damage to one’s tree. If you end up hiring a company that is in-experienced or “cut-crazy” when it comes to the limbs on your tree, you’ll be in big trouble. You have to understand that each time a cut is made, a wound is also created. Too many wounds will eventually lead the tree toward decay.
Leaves are the food bearing objects on a tree. They help feed your tree and therefore aid in keeping it thriving. Removing too many branches containing healthy leaves will cut off your tree’s largest source of food. Without all of the leaves, it will most likely die of starvation.
