Pruning your trees is important for a number of reasons, such as yard safety. When trees aren’t regularly pruned, it can lead to numerous dead branches. This poses safety concerns for people, power lines, and surrounding structures, which can be damaged by falling limbs. In addition to improving safety, regular tree maintenance offers many other benefits.

The advantages of regular tree pruning include:

• Positively influencing tree growth
• Improving the tree’s structural integrity
• Reducing the risk of falling limbs or branches
• Improving the appearance of the tree
• Optimizing weight distribution
• Helping trees grow healthy

Pruning vs. Trimming

Trimming and pruning are two techniques homeowners employ when taking care of their gardens. Plant horticulturists use pruning for trees and shrubs, while gardeners typically trim shrubs and hedges. The two terms are interchangeable, but they use different types of equipment and have different implementation times. When trees, shrubs, and hedges are trimmed and pruned, they become healthy and aesthetically pleasing. Generally, pruning is used to remove excess foliage or branches, while trimming promotes healthy growth.

Knowing When & How to Prune

Pruning too much or at the wrong time can be detrimental to the health of a tree. Pruning is best done during the dormant season since trees are less susceptible to stress and harm during that time. Our Purple Pros have extensive knowledge of the best approaches to pruning and times to prune trees to optimize health and reduce the risk of causing damage to your trees.
