Have you ever thought about having your small trees pruned?  Did you know that properly pruned trees live a longer, healthier life?

Small tree pruning around your property will help create a flourishing environment for your landscape.  Tree pruning involves the removal of diseased, dead, or broken branches from your trees.  With respect to young trees, pruning is vital to healthy growth and development.  Pruning will ensure that your small trees are growing with structural integrity and a desirable branch layout.  The early years of a tree’s life are the most important for ensuring longevity and good health, so it’s important to pay close attention to these trees while they’re in their youth.  

Small trees also have a higher risk of long-term damage from diseases and pests.  Many species of fungi exist that can penetrate the bark of your tree branches, ultimately affecting other areas of the tree.  Larger, mature trees can handle the stresses of insect feeding and defoliation well, but only if they grew up in a flourishing way.  

Pruning also removes weak branches that would be likely to fall during stormy conditions – which could damage the small plants in your garden and make a mess in your yard.  Keeping up with your small tree pruning will maximize the beauty of your landscape and help keep your yard well-maintained.  

Pruning is such an important component of your trees’ health and longevity, so make sure you stay on top of them!

FAQs

Will the plant bear fruit or flower next year if I prune it?

Yes, as long as you order your winter pruning early enough in the season, pruning should encourage new growth and blooms in the spring. Pruning gives healthy branches more room to grow and stimulates new growth as well.

Why is pruning beneficial and why is winter a good time to do it?

Annual pruning during winter encourages healthy growth and rich blooms on your fruit trees, vines, and perennials. Combined with good irrigation and proper nutrients, winter pruning can also help a plant recover from pest, fungus, disease, or frost damage. Also, in the winter trees enter into a dormant state. The growth cycle is stopped and the tree conserves energy for the following spring. This means that most of the tree’s energy can be put towards the healing process, allowing it to recover more quickly from the pruning.

How much will be pruned from my trees during the service?

The amount of tissue removed from each tree depends on a variety of factors such as tree size, age, species, and your pruning objectives. Younger trees are more resilient to pruning methods, and it’s important to note that trees recover from several small wounds more quickly than one large wound. We will be sure to maintain an even distribution of foliage in your trees so that they remain structurally sound and are positioned to continue a healthy growth cycle.
