Pruning Mature Trees
Pruning is the most common tree maintenance procedure and must be done with an understanding of tree biology.
Common reasons for pruning are to remove dead branches, to improve form, and to reduce risk. Most mature trees are pruned as corrective or preventative measures.
Because each cut has the potential to change the growth of the tree, no branch should be removed without a reason.
Understand the pruning needs of mature trees and the proper pruning techniques for their care.
