Pruning or Trimming?
Whereas pruning is carried out mainly by trained professionals to carefully influence a tree’s growth, trimming involves maintaining the shape of shrubs, hedges and trees for aesthetic purposes. Trimming is also carried out to clear branches near electrical wires.
Reasons to Prune or Trim A Tree
There are many reasons for pruning trees and shrubs. It is important to manage the risk associated with trees because they are a constant presence in our surroundings. Maintenance pruning/trimming is needed when trees are too close to houses, drooping over parking spaces, or have limbs too low to walk under. This type of pruning is done on a two to three year cycle. Structural pruning is done while a tree is young and it is a good way to ensure a healthy, strong crown. Young tree pruning corrects co-dominant leaders, weak angles of branch attachment, and gives a tree a much better chance of surviving a storm event later on in its life. The benefits of pruning or trimming a tree include:
- Pruning a tree effectively helps to maintain its shape and appearance.
- If the branches of a tree obstruct your vision while driving, they should be trimmed away. Dead or broken branches and limbs can fall off any time, which is a serious safety hazard.
- If branches are crossing or rubbing against each other they should be trimmed or removed so that they don’t fall unexpectedly.
