Pruning trees and their branches is one of our specialties. What is the definition and purpose of pruning a tree you ask? Pruning trees and other vegetation is important for facilitating plant health and growth. It is important to remove dead and diseased branches, flowers, and similar items from the relevant plant. When pruning for a practical purpose one might best consider how primary and secondary cuts beneficially direct branch, flower and leave growth, and encourage fruit production. Pruning might also enable more visually appealing bark growth with various dark moving colors and textural depths.
Greenwood Lawncare uses special tools for pruning trees, and their associated best use. Tools we use for pruning trees include pruning shears, hedge shears, lopping shears, pruning saws, pole pruners. Pruning and hedge shears can be held using respectively one hand and/or two hands depending on the size of the items being cut and the quantity. Lopping shears should be used when the diameter of the branch is approximately two inches wide. Pruning saws and pole pruners are for larger projects and are best used with caution by a professional. The actual terms used to label the aforementioned tools are probably products of semantic parsing and might be labeled something differently (even in American English) by an assortment of individuals devoted to the practical use of similar gardening equipment.
There are several types of pruning cuts to use when pruning fruit trees, and that can be applied generally to other types of pruning projects. One cut is called “heading” where a person cuts back a branch to a side bud, growth, or sprout. This encourages full growth with less height. When cutting buds, sprouts, and stems, usually cut right above the sprout, for example, but select a sprout that is pointing in the direction you want to encourage growth. Another cut is called “thinning” where a branch is cut at the base near the lower level of the tree, or at a branch collar. This directs and encourages growth for the tree because of the increased air and light provided thereafter. Shearing is also an interesting technique whereby precise, strong cuts are made along one level edge (of hedges, for example) which encourages dormant sprouts and other types of growth to emerge with relative magnitude moderately quickly.
Caring for your tree when pruning your tree. Approximately the first few years after planting fruit trees and other types of trees are years for training the tree and encouraging compact, full growth. One might prune more aggressively during this period of time. The following few years present opportunities for maintenance of growth and continued, maturing fruit production. Remove dead growth, including dead flowers, and dead wood from the tree. One might also cut out insect swarms if necessary or actually spray some type of deterrent in the relevant area of the tree. From the commencement of your initial pruning endeavors, follow this advice: preference the leading branch or primary branch or several predominant branches; encourage secondary leading branches (these should originate from the trunk and be at least less than half the size of the leading branch); determine several branched networks (where neither branches in either network directly shade lower branches). Finally, following noticeable periods of growth, reduce growth by approximately one-half for strong branches, and by one-third for those branches that are less successfully growing. We recommend as a precaution contacting professionals to prune trees where consistently branches are over two inches in diameter and/or a ladder is required to prune the tree.
We also prune holiday trees. If working on a holiday tree farm or living there, through-out the growing season preference the leading branch of the holiday tree (this should be evident and what might once have been conceptualized as the trunk) but if not you can choose between two or three for a several year period when shaping the tree. Make an aesthetic judgment about the exterior line of the tree and impart to it a slight bell shape or as one might imagine the appearance of a pyramid during a more fundamentally fantastic and unrealistic dream. Find something upon which to rest the tree if it has been cut already to prevent getting hurt yourself or hurting the tree when it continually falls to the ground, to its detriment probably more than your own.
