Are you pruning your trees correctly?
Topping is bad for your trees.
Topped trees need more maintenance. Topped trees require constant pruning to retain their size and shape.
Re-growth can be dangerous and can break off more readily than a naturally occurring branch or stem.
Topping of trees places your tree under stress and can have adverse effects on tree health and structure.
There are a number of pruning options which enhance your tree and environment. Goals that are achievable by topping can be achieved by good pruning practices that will enhance your green assets.
Remember TREES ARE GOOD!
Tree Maintenance
Good tree maintenance is essential. Tree pruning provided by professional qualified and experienced Arborists helps to promote good tree structure, allows more light through the trees canopy and removes deadwood and diseased or broken branches.
Want to enhance the look of your tree?
Crown cleaning or dead wooding can improve the look of your tree.
Crown cleaning or Deadwooding is the removal of dead, dying, diseased, detached or broken branches within a trees canopy. This type of pruning is ideal for specimen trees. Crown cleaning enhances the visual amenity or aesthetics of the tree and is essential when safety is paramount.
Dead or detached branches can split out and cause damage to people or property. Dead or broken branches should be removed.
Do you have young trees on your property? The formative pruning young trees pruned by a professional promotes good tree structure and can save you money!
By promoting good tree structure your trees can mature without becoming a liability.
The formative pruning of a tree promotes good branch structure and form in young trees.
Branches are selectively removed to promote good branch spacing, good branch attachments and prompting branch strength.
Formative pruning as the name suggests enhances the form of semi mature trees aiming to promote good form shape and structure whilst removing points of structural weakness.
Is your tree blocking light into your property?
Crown Thinning
The thinning of a trees crown involves the removal of selected minor branches throughout a trees crown. The aim of crown thinning is to reduce the foliage mass of the tree whilst maintaining it form and size.
Crown thinning is ideal when light is not getting into your house. Thinning can be used to reduce wind resistance, reduce the weight of branches, increase light through a trees canopy.
Crown Reduction
Is you tree too big for your site?
The reduction of a trees height and spread. Canopy reduction is not topping.
Selected branches are tipped back to suitable growth points reducing the overall size of a tree.
Not all trees are suitable for crown reductions and this type of pruning is only undertaken on trees whose form and structure allow.
Canopy Lifting
Is the canopy of your tree hanging low?
The lifting of a trees canopy can help provide access below a tree whether it is to provide access up your driveway or allow you to mow below the tree without banging your head.
Crown Renewal
Has your tree been lopped and topped by a cowboy?
Has your tree been storm damaged?
Crown renewal or restoration is the formative pruning of a tree with a view to restoring its natural growth habit and branch structure. Crown renewal is a gradual process of multiple pruning events and in most circumstances takes a couple of consecutive prunings to achieve.
Crown Retrenchment
Is your tree dying back or stag heading?
Crown retrenchment involves the removal of dead damaged and diseased branches in mature trees back to areas of live health woody tissue. The aim is to promote regenerative growth. Once this growth has formed the tree is maintained by crown renewal pruning techniques with a view to promoting a healthy new canopy with good structure.
