What Do You Mean By Pruning?
The process of removing branches, twigs, or leaves that are no longer alive is called “pruning” and it’s a common misconception that trees have an infinite amount of energy – they don’t need any help from humans in their growth. It’s important to keep the exterior of your home clean and tidy by having a professional arborist come out every year for pruning service. With Lewis Burns Tree Service, clients can receive peace of mind knowing the potential hazard has been eliminated.
What’s The Purpose Of Pruning?
The purpose of pruning is to remove diseased, dead, or dying branches and limbs from the tree. This allows better access, for safety purposes, as well as improving the appearance and reducing clutter on branches that are no longer alive. Deadwood can also be a harboring place for insects, disease-causing fungi, and other pests, so removing it will make your property safer while making your trees healthier too.
How Often Should Trees Be Pruned?
If your trees need pruning (recommended every other year or so), the pruning should take place in early spring before new growth begins. The frequency of pruning can depend on the last time your trees were pruned, or if there have been recent storms that may have caused damage to the trees.
What Types Of Trees Need Pruning?
Five types of trees are most commonly pruned: oak, maple, pine, cherry, and elm. It’s important to note that all species can be subject to decay over time and if you see a limb or tree that looks different, you can contact professionals to inspect the condition of the tree.
