Tree Pruning
Tree pruning and trimming are used interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference between them. Trimming focuses on aesthetics, and only the overgrown branches are cut during this process. It is a tactic to cut branches that ruin a tree’s shape or appearance, and it does not focus on whether it will promote a plant’s overall health.
Pruning is more strategic and goes beyond pure aesthetics. Tree care specialists cut branches at specific points to promote healing. Proper pruning can promote tree growth while making it more resilient at the same time.
Where do you cut when pruning? – You need to cut a tree branch and not a trunk. All pruning cuts must be made at a specific angle and some distance away from growing buds.
What is the best time of year to prune a tree? – Late winter to early spring is the best time to prune a tree. Avoid it in fall because it encourages growth in wintertime.
How do you prune tree branches? – Always prune away from fresh buds and make sure your cuts don’t interrupt their supply of nutrients.
Can a tree die from pruning? – A tree will only die if you use poor pruning techniques repeatedly. Incorrect methods strain the tree and ultimately weaken it.
Is tree pruning sealer necessary? – Avoid pruning sealer as much as possible because it interferes with a tree’s natural healing process.
