Why Should Trees Be Pruned?
Here are some of the most common reasons your trees should be pruned:
To normalize their form: Without trimming the right branches, trees begin to grow into wild and unmanageable ways. Trimming the right branches can bring your trees original natural form back to life.
Structure: Structural integrity is a big deal when it comes to trees for safety reasons. A good arborist will cut away dead, diseased or broken branches in order to reduce the load. This is especially important during periods of severe weather.
Health: Just like human beings, trees can contract disease and infestations. These can be trimmed away and trees can also be sprayed or injected in order to combat disease.
Growth: Pruning accelerates a tree’s growth rate of new branches which could lead to things like enhanced fruit production for a fruit tree or more branches during the spring growth season.
