So you have ignored the rain and ventured outside this spring. The lawn needs mowing and some trees need trimming. Should you prune your trees? Sure. Why not? It’s time for spring cleaning. Let’s discuss some truths about trees, to give you a basis for starting.
The most important thing to know about trees before you prune is that trees do not heal. Pruning a live part from a tree causes permanent wound. What this means for your pruning is to set a goal and a limit. For example, removing the branch that you just hit your head on, might be the extent of necessary pruning. Or, the flowering cherry has a crowded branch pattern, and some thinning will enhance the aesthetics of a beautiful tree. So set a prescription for work and get it done.
Have a great time in your yard this spring. If you need woodchips for mulch, or a hand on your pruning projects, or would just like some helpful advice, please give us a call, or send us a note at treeresource.com.
