Proper trimming can improve the health of your trees by eliminating branches that are dead or dying. These branches are often dangerous, and removing them reduces the risk of harm to your family and damage to your property.
Pruning Improves the overall appearance and structure of the tree, keeping it from developing broad or weak branches. Trimming prevents limbs from growing with weak crotches.
Trimming your trees will increase sun exposure and air circulation throughout the tree and underlying landscape, which will improve the tree’s health. Just be sure to watch out for signs of sun-scald, which often affects leafless deciduous trees in the winter time.
Pruning fruit trees can actually improve the size and quantity of the crop. Fruit trees should be pruned in late winter for shape and to expose the center of the tree to sunlight.
Newly planted trees should be pruned to compensate for root loss and to begin training the tree for shape.
Tree trimming can also simply open up your property and improve your view.
