In last week’s post we listed a checklist for Seasonal Tree Protection. This week we’re going to go into a little more detail about the first tree care task on the list, that is, pruning & trimming!

A professional arborist can determine what type of care is required to help maintain or improve your trees’ health, safety, and appearance. Pruning and trimming can help:

• Keep branches from rubbing up against one another
• Thin or remove unnecessary branches
• Remove insect-infected or diseased limbs
• Eliminate the dead or weak limbs that could be hazardous
• Get rid of weather damaged limbs
• Remove limbs that may obstruct streets or sidewalks
• Remove limbs that may touch wires, buildings, gutters, roofs, and more
• Create a stronger structure that lessens wind resistance and damage
• Improve the shape or silhouette of the tree
• Train young trees to grow into proper positions
