Pruned trees are a lot less likely to have branches or limbs break during a storm.
It could sound counterintuitive, but cutting or pruning your tree helps in many different ways. Think about it like a haircut; you might lose hair, but your hair shape looks better. It is essentially the same when your arborist prunes each of your trees. You reduce the chance that they snap while helping trees grow and look better. Read on to learn more!
Pruning for Safety
Pruning removes deadwood that can otherwise fall during storms. That is why pruned trees are a lot less likely to have branches or limbs break during a storm, which helps protect your property from damage. While pruning, arborists conduct normal checkups to make sure your tree is healthy and in good shape. When unhealthy and neglected, trees could do serious damage to your house in a dangerous storm, especially because it weighs almost twice as much as a small car. The more you invest in a tree’s long-term health, its a lot less likely it will do damage during a storm.
Pruning for Good Health
This is very important when your trees are young, especially a few years after planting. You should have an arborist train your young trees so that they develop a sturdy and sound branch structure. This way, you will proactively reduce risk. Once your tree is older, your arborist will prune it to thin its strong and dense canopy or remove weakened branch structures. By eliminating excessive and competing branches, your tree’s shape will improve. Plus, you could increase the amount of sunlight and air that could circulate through your tree’s entire canopy. More sunshine means more photosynthesis, which means growth! Maturing and mature trees will also require periodic removal of deadwood, not just for safety but to allow trees to seal up wounds to avoid unnecessary decaying.
Pruning for Beauty
Arborists also prune trees to help maintain and improve their natural shape and size. A few arborists think of tree trimming as an art form. They want to help each tree look as great as they can. When they do this, they help ensure your trees keeps on benefiting your house. One healthy tree in front of your home could increase the home’s average sale price as well.
