From planting to mulching and all things in between many people really started to exercise their horticulture tendencies. Yet regarding tree trimming its wise to get a few pointers before you begin working with pruning tools. Since of course one wrong move and you will kiss your tree good-bye! This is what you need to know concerning successful DIY tree-trimming:
Prior to getting started it is critical to minimize the risk of injury even when you are trimming a small tree. Always wear a pair of goggles (this can prevent splinters from getting into your eyes) heavy pruning gloves and a helmet. In addition make certain that the ladders you use is sturdy and firmly rooted on to the ground otherwise you can seriously hurt yourself in a fall. After all your tree trimming endeavors will go to waste should you find yourself in the hospital!
When clipping do not cut any branch too closely at the trunk of the tree; a risky move like this might backfire as healthy bark will probably be torn from the trunk of the tree when the limb is removed. Then again you really do not want to leave too much of the dead branch behind. Find a happy medium by trimming at the collar of the limb which should leave a bit of a stump.
Many landscaping experts and arborists recognize that you can trim most trees anytime. You will find a few varieties of trees as well as fruit trees that you may want to trim in the autumn months but most trees could be trimmed any time of the season.
You should know when to call in a professional if the job is way too big so if you are wondering about taking on any big branches yourself lay down the equipment and back away. Large branches should be extracted by a professional so ask the arborist to deal with the bigger and more hazardous tasks.
