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.
