Pruning
Almost all trees can benefit from a prune in some way. Younger trees respond well to a training prune done to establish healthy structure, desired height, and to prevent issues before they occur. Prunes done early in a tree's lifespan can encourage vigorous growth, reduce risk of limb failure in storm events, and directionally influence growth away from structures. Mature trees can (and should) be pruned too! A thorough prune corrects interfering and rubbing branches that can lead to decay, removes deadwood or hazardous hanging limbs in the canopy, corrects poor structure, and greatly decreases the likelihood of breakage due to high winds, snow accumulation, or other natural factors. Work can also be done to gain clearance on homes and other structures to allow the whole property to grow side by side. No matter what you need pruned, always be sure to have your trees cared for by a certified arborist like the folks at Trophy Tree Care. Improper pruning can not only be visually unappealing, but is very likely damaging to the tree and creates risk for the future! Ensure the continued health of your landscape by contacting us today.
