WHY PRUNE TREES?

SAFETY

The most important reason to prune your trees is for safety. In an urban landscape, there are people, vehicles, and structures that can be injured or damaged by self-pruning or hazardous trees. This type of pruning is usually called deadwood or safety pruning. Preventative pruning also lessens the potential for storm damage.

HEALTH

Tree canopies need proper sunlight and air circulation to thrive. This is often called a complete prune, and it includes removing deadwood and pruning for form as well as safety and aesthetics. With proper pruning, plant health care problems can be solved to help reduce disease or insect infestation. A sanitation prune can remove infected branches without spreading the disease to the rest of the tree.

AESTHETICS

The third reason to prune trees is for their aesthetic qualities. Young trees can be trained to grow in a desired form. This is called structure pruning. Proper pruning can solve clearance issues for walkways or buildings or even for a better view. This is called either clearance pruning or vista pruning.

TIMING

The dormant season is the best time to prune. However, pruning can occur year round, with the growing season being the least ideal. Some species should not be pruned out of the dormant season, such as elms & fruit trees or trees susceptible to fireblight. See more about this here. A certified arborist is the best resource to determine this.
