    More About Tree Pruning

    Trees are an investment during their first 3-5 years, so pruning for structure is critical. After a tree's third year, pruning helps to develop proper structure, control its size, direct growth and maintain its health. Training young trees via proper pruning techniques has a number of benefits:
    • Improving the strength and structure
    • Increasing the tree's longevity
    • Reducing maintenance costs
    When pruning, remove dead, damaged and the weakest crossing limbs, along with sprouts on the trunk near its base.
