tree fact

Pruning for tree health - This involves removing diseased or insect-infested wood, thinning the crown to increase airflow which will reduce some pest problems, and removing crossing and rubbing branches. Pruning can best be used to encourage trees to develop a strong structure and reduce the likelihood of damage during severe weather. Removing broken or damaged limbs encourage wound closure.

Pruning for landscape aesthetics - Pruning can enhance the natural form and character of trees and stimulates flower production. Pruning for form can be especially important on open grown trees that do very little self-pruning.

Important Note: you are trying to improve a tree's structure, especially during the early years. As trees mature, pruning will shift to maintaining that tree's structure, form, health and appearance.
