Tree Pruning

Pruning or trimming involves the removal of branches or stems from trees and woody plants. Reasons for pruning vary but should always consider the overall health of the tree or shrub.

Dead wood and diseased limbs are always pruned. Crossing limbs and limbs that interfere with each other are also considered.

Often, you may want to prune for shape or even prune to thin a tree to avoid potential storm damage. In any case, the goal of any pruning should be to improve the health and aesthetic appeal of your trees and shrubs.

An ISA certified arborist will know why, when, and how to properly prune your trees and shrubs. Many certified arborists conduct classes on pruning, so you may hire an arborist or prune on your own.

Remember, prune correctly, and enjoy!
