Pruning your trees is an essential and critical aspect of healthy tree maintenance that Orem Lawn Care can provide to you. In order to allow your trees to reach their full growth and potential, allowing Orem Lawn Care to handle all of your tree pruning needs will accomplish just that. Pruning is the process of taking pieces or parts of branches from your tree or trees and removing them in a manner that is simple yet beneficial for yourself and your tree to look neat and clean while growing, producing and maintaining a nice, healthy shape.
During the dormant season for your trees, usually when it has no leaves just before it starts to bud, is typically the best time to approach pruning of any sort whether for yourfavorite fruit tree or the front yard landscaping. When pruning your trees, Orem Lawn Care will look for branches that cross over one another or are starting to grow back towards the trunk. Those are the first branches that will need to be removed. Proper tree preservation includes recognizing how not to cut too close to the main trunk of the tree which is important; leaving what is called the "collar" around the base of the removed branch is critical in healing the wound for the tree. Orem Lawn Care will be looking for the round 'bump' just past the branches connection to the tree itself and pruning outside of that using the smallest angle cut which will allow for a shorter healing time for your tree as well as minimize scarring.
Taking care to ensure that no more than roughly 30% of the total tree is removed in one pruning session will help make sure that your tree is not sent into shock or killed. Orem Lawn Care is experienced and understands the need to never prune back the leader or the main trunk of your tree; usually, when pruning, efforts begin with the pruning back of the lesser branches that are growing from the lower portion of the trunk of the tree.
When pruning smaller or thinner branches, beginning to prune right beyond the collar near the core of the tree is effective, however, with larger and heavier branches, Orem Lawn Care may decide that starting from the smaller tip and working their way in towards the larger trunk of the tree is adequate. When pruning larger branches, care is taken to make sure the trees best interest is kept in mind. When necessary, Orem Lawn Care will consider creating a few shallow incisions into the bark layer near the collar so that the larger, weightier branch will not break or fall too soon during pruning causing the bark to strip down and damage other parts of the tree.
Pruning is crucial to tree care and Orem Lawn Care understands that. Proper pruning can increase the yield of your fruit trees, promote healthy growth for shade and remove unsightly dead or dying branches allowing an unobstructed view of your landscaping.
