Why Prune Your Trees?

Pruning is much more than the simple act of sawing off limbs and should be a regular part of all tree and shrub maintenance programs.

Proper pruning encourages strong growth, increases flower and fruit production, improves plant health, and removes damaged limbs, all which give aesthetic appeal to a tree. Pruning at the right time and in the right way is critical, since it is possible to kill a healthy tree through neglect or over-pruning. Essentially, pruning should enhance the trees natural shape.

Here are a few main reasons to prune your trees:

• Reduce risk of failure from dead or weak branches
• Provide clearance
• Reduce shade and wind resistance
• Manage tree health
• Manage flower or fruit production
• Improve aesthetics
• Improve tree structure
• Save a storm-damaged tree
