What happens if you prune trees incorrectly?
Poor pruning makes trees vulnerable to disease and pests. It can also cause structural damage that weakens trees, turning them from mighty oaks to dangerous hazards.
Benefits of professional tree pruning:
Professional pruning has an array of benefits for trees in gardens and public parks, including:
- Tree health: Our tree pruning services, such as pollarding and crown cleaning, are beneficial for your tree’s overall health. We’ll remove dead branches and unwanted shoots to encourage healthy regrowth.
- Aesthetics: Is your tree shading your garden or obstructing your view? Crown thinning and lifting can allow more light to enter through the canopy, creating pleasant dappled shade.
- Safety: Large and over-heavy trees can interfere with power lines and can be damaged in high winds. We can thin or reduce the crown to prevent any safety issues.
Common mistakes in tree branch pruning: Is there a wrong way to cut tree branches?
Yes, there is a wrong way to cut tree branches. You may have heard of a technique called topping. This involves hard pruning a tree to remove most of its branches and foliage, and should not be confused with pollarding. Unfortunately, it’s a poor pruning practice that encourages excess growth and can damage or even kill trees, such as beech.
Another common issue is the removal of dead and damaged branches without proper technique. While it’s important to remove hazardous limbs, doing so incorrectly, such as making flush cuts or leaving stubs can weaken the tree and open it up to infection.
We recommend leaving it to the professionals — we’ll only ever use approved methods to manage your trees.
When is the right time to prune a tree? Is there a wrong time to prune?
Knowing when to cut back your trees ensures the best results for health and longevity.and there is a lot of conflicting information about when to prune trees.
It is essential to understand the specific tree, the time of year, the demands on the tree and its health.
Pruning will result in an increase in demand on the tree’s energy reserves, as the tree grows and heals and fights off any pests or diseases attempting to break in via pruning cuts.
How to know the best time to prune your trees
It’s important to prune when the tree is able to heal and defend, and when the tree isn’t already spending large amounts of energy flushing leaves or flowers, or during abscission in the autumn when the tree is withdrawing chemicals and sugars from the leaves ready to shed them.
Pruning the tree when it’s dormant is one option; but it’s also completely acceptable to prune a tree in full leaf, provided the quantity of pruning in both cases is reasonable. When the tree is in full leaf it’s able to quickly replace lost energy, and top up its reserves ready for winter, as well as immediately start and repair the wound.
