TREE PRUNING
Pruning
is the most common tree maintenance procedure we provide.
Pruning
is often desirable or necessary to remove dead,
diseased,
or insect-infested branches and to
improve tree structure, enhance vigor,
or maintain safety. Because each cut has the
potential to change the
growth of
(or cause damage to) a tree, no branch should be
removed
without a reason.
Removing foliage from a tree has two
distinct effects on its growth.
Removing leaves reduces photosynthesis and may reduce
overall growth.
That is why we always perform pruning sparingly. Overpruning is
extremely
harmful because without enough leaves, a tree cannot gather and process
enough
sunlight to survive. However, after pruning, the growth that does
occur takes place
on fewer shoots, so they tend to grow longer than they
would without pruning. Understanding
how the tree responds to pruning is
critical when selecting branches for removal.
Pruning mature trees requires special
equipment, training, and experience.
If the pruning work requires climbing, the use of
a chain or hand saw, or
the removal of large limbs, then using personal safety equipment,
such as
protective eyewear and hearing protection, is a must. Tree Works
can
provide a variety of services to assist in performing the job safely and
eliminating
the risk of personal injury to yourself and damage to your
property. We are also
able to determine which type of pruning is
necessary to maintain or improve the
health, appearance, and safety of
your trees.
