Trees are a beautiful and functional asset to your property. They provide shade, oxygen, and in some cases fruit, nuts, or flowers. Knowing this, why is pruning and cutting branches on trees important?  Health Removing weak or dead branches prevent decay and insect problems. Canopies that are too dense can cause increase disease and insect problems. Crossed branches rub the bark away from where they meet. These exposed areas are easy spots for pathogens to be introduced. Removing competing leaders. Leaders are branches at the top of the tree. Having two that compete can lead to wood that splits and tears. Older trees can form pockets where water will sit. Sitting water can rot wood and lead to some real damage. Selectively pruning these locations can improve the well being of your tree. Safety It reduces the risk of branches falling and damaging property or people. Low growing branches can hit people or cars. Branches that hang over property can lead to damages during storms and high wind.
Form
Trees tend to grow best when they keep their form. Removing wild growing branches early keep your tree's form looking good and your tree healthy. As trees grow larger, they do not need to keep such a low canopy. The higher branches block out more sun, and the lower branches are less effective at producing food. raising a tree's canopy helps to make the tree more productive while making it easier to walk beneath the tree.

Great post.But, Tree trimming is an important task that needs to be carried out regularly, without fail. Tree trimming is not only good for the tree's growth, it is also important to trim trees at regular intervals so that they do not damage property and overhead wires.

I was trying to think of another reason but I think you got them all broadly covered 11/25/2020 08:38:20 pm
I definitely agree that tree trimming can help with safety when handling a tree with large branches. In fact, there's a tree just outside our yard that has monstrously large branches that can easily injure someone if one of them snaps due to strong winds and falls on top of them. I won't wait until this happens and someone gets hurt, so I'll look for a tree trimming service that can stop by and have a look at that tree. 1/20/2021 07:22:21 am

My mom has been thinking about getting rid of the elm tree in her backyard. Having a professional remove it for her could help the area look better. I liked what you said about how standing water can create rot in the wood under a tree around older trees. 6/1/2021 12:49:23 pm
Great article, very true that older trees can have pockets where water sits and can rot the tree. For this reason, among others, continuous pruning and trimming is necessary for a long tree life. See https://www.treesmason.com/mason-tree-services for more information Leave a Reply. |
