Tree Trimming & Pruning: Tips

Tree pruning, trimming, or reducing is a recurring procedure throughout the life of your tree. After picking the right tree and also meticulously growing it, early trimming is the most essential thing you can do for a young tree.

However among one of the most typical blunders made in pruning trees is getting rid of way too many branches, which can impact the growth rate of the tree. So below are five guidelines (or "factors")-- an expression first created by Columbus Georgia Tree Care Services -- you can follow to make sure the trimming "dosage" is guided in the most reliable fashion, without impacting the price of growth.

5 Factors for Form and Feature:
1. Branches and also leaves will certainly occupy at least 2/3 of complete height.
2. All branches will certainly be < 1/2 the size of the trunk, at point of accessory, this maintains branches from taking on the trunk.
3. No more than 1/3 of live vegetation will certainly be removed in a year. This is a heavy pruning dose for a young tree; 'much less is extra' in many cases.
4. All last cuts will be less than 1 inch in diameter, this indicates cuts close over promptly, limiting chances for decay organisms.
5. Limit of 5 pruning cuts annually.

Correct pruning will save you money as well as provide you a much safer much more stunning, healthier, as well as easier-to-maintain tree. Remember what you do to your tree in its first few years of life will influence its form, stamina, and even its life span. If we concentrate our pruning efforts strategically-- with the right tools-- we can establish long-lived city trees! ​Contact us, your local Columbus, GA Tree Service today!

I appreciate what you said about how correct pruning will save you money in the long run. I need to get some of my oak trees cleaned up. I'll have to hire a tree company to check the root system as well.
