TREE PRUNING

Tree Pruning Service in Bryant, Arkansas

Tree Pruning is one of the least understood disciplines in arboriculture for a variety of reasons. First, many professionals and residential customers underestimate the importance of tree pruning and proper pruning techniques. Second, arboriculture is a complex, science-based industry. Consequently, arborists are always learning new pruning methods that may contradict previous practices—remaining current takes time and effort.

Tree Pruning helps a tree maintain its shape and vigor by removing broken, dead or diseased branches that can be unsightly and make it more difficult for the tree or shrub to stay healthy. Pruned trees look healthier and add property aesthetic. The benefits of a properly pruned tree are health aesthetics and storm resistance. All of our pruning is done according to standards used by professional arborists.

The Beginning of Pruning

The first step in effective pruning is proper tree identification. Once the tree's genus is determined, knowledge about hardiness, growth response, best time of year to prune and more can be considered. Tree pruning may be necessary, but it still inflicts a wound to a tree's armor. Even so, the results of a proper cut are usually far better than one never placed. Tree pruning must have a purpose. The purpose, along with other factors, will determine the type and size of cuts needed.

A basic understanding of tree biology and physiology is crucial to proper tree pruning, which is why a professional tree service should be involved. Pruning cuts should be made as close to the collar as possible without harming it.

When Should A Tree Be Pruned?

The most common practice in pruning is to remove the three "D's”—dead, diseased and dying limbs. These conditions are easily identified and are the easiest cuts to master. Other than removing deadwood, removing conflicting limbs may be the most beneficial to a tree's survival. Learning which live limbs to remove is more difficult since the process is complex and many variables must be considered.
