Tree pruning for healthier trees
Click to call: 732-372-0187
Tree pruning primarily done for aesthetic reasons is called fine pruning. It is used to remove dead branches and improve the shape and structure of your trees. It helps the tree overcome growth challenges like uneven light or infringing nearby trees or structures.
Trees that often require fine pruning are small fruit trees, Japanese maple trees, Dogwoods, Magnolia and small Evergreen trees, etc.
Regular fine pruning will improve not only the appearance of the tree but also the health of a tree. Frequency of pruning varies from tree type to tree type but it is very beneficial during the early part of a tree’s growth.
Edison Tree Service uses hand pruners and pole saws for larger trees. Special care is often required to prevent the spread of disease and experience is required to achieve an aesthetic and functional balance of the tree. Think Mr. Myagi in the Karate Kid!
Most homeowners undertake tree pruning by themselves. If this is the best choice for you, we recommend at the very least to invite an experienced arborist for the initial pruning and supervision. Improper cuts are not fixable and could adversely effect the growth, look, and health of your tree.
Height Reduction Pruning – Crown Reduction Pruning
Know the Difference Between Pruning and Lopping
Knowing where and when to make a pruning cut can also significantly reduce the risk associated with trees. Many tree loppers make incorrect pruning cuts which often puts undue stress and strain on a tree causing irreparable damage and rapid decline in the health and life of a tree.
The industry standard for retention trees calls for limiting the removal of a tree’s crown to less than 20% during any 12 month period. Excessive pruning will deplete a tree of its stored energy which can cause a rapid decline in its health and vitality.
Tree Canopy Trimming for Healthier Trees
If you cut more than 50% of the tree canopy it could starve the tree. Excessive lopping also generally causes the tree to go into survival mode – which promotes quick regrowth, but results in weakly attached and often crowded regrowth. This causes a ripple effect in years to come, when the tree reaches its pre-lopped height, as the regrowth may be too weak to sustain its weight. Lopped trees can also be unattractive and also more susceptible to insect infestation and fungal growth.
