The Importance of Pruning: Protect Your Plants And Property

Pruning is an excellent way to perform preventive maintenance on young and mature plants. A regular pruning schedule protects your plants, home and property from injury, pests and damage. It's an important part of a long-term maintenance strategy.

 

What exactly is pruning? Pruning is the practice of removing specific parts of a tree or shrub (such as roots, shoots or branches) that have died due to insects, disease and lack of sunlight, or pruning for the healthy development of the plant and for aesthetic purposes.

 

Benefits of pruning

Promote plant health

Tree pruner remove wilted and dead branches and stubs, making room for new growth and protecting your property and passersby from damage. It also discourages pests and animal infestations, promoting the natural shape and healthy growth of plants.

 

Maintaining Plants and Landscapes

Pruning promotes healthy flower and fruit production in trees and shrubs. Regular pruning fosters the beauty of hedges and maintains the proportions and density of evergreens. This maintenance supports the planned layout and appearance of your property by controlling the size and shape of your plants.

 

Protect your family and property

Regular pruning reduces the risk of storm damage to buildings caused by broken branches. Protect your family and friends from tree branches that fall on sidewalks, driveways and children's play areas. This practice also helps control pests, vermin and snakes by reducing their habitat.

 

Types of pruning

Pruning, especially of large trees and shrubs, is best left to professionals. It can be dangerous! In the process, you could injure the plant or yourself.

 

There are several different types of pruning.

 

- Thinning - This method removes branches at the base of the tree next to the trunk.

 

- Topping - This is an intense process that knocks most of the branches onto the trunk of the tree. Topping is often used when training young trees to grow in a specific way.

 

- Raise - This involves pruning low hanging branches to create headroom for pedestrians, parked cars, or entryways.

 

- Reduce - This means trimming the volume of the tree, usually for safety reasons, such as creating space for power lines.
