As trees grow and mature, they become exposed to many stress factors that may affect their structural integrity. There are many reasons for pruning your trees, including safety, health and aesthetics. Proper tree pruning can help ensure tree health and stimulate fruit production. Tree pruning can also reduce the possibility of tree damage due to severe weather. Tree pruning provides a proactive measure to ensure the safety of your family, visitors to your home and your property. By removing branches that could potentially break or fall, possible injuries or property damage may be prevented.

Tree pruning is usually performed whenever you would prefer your tree to have a particular shape rather than appearing “wild” or unkempt. Instead of permitting a tree to grow naturally you should have it pruned while it’s still fairly young. Pruning involves making strategic cuts in the tree while it is still young to guide its growth patterns. Pruning should be performed at least a couple of times per year to ensure that your tree matures in a healthy manner.
