The main reasons for pruning trees include safety, health, and aesthetics.
In addition, pruning can stimulate fruit and production and increase the value of your timber.
Pruning for safety involves removing branches that could fall and cause
injury or property damage, trimming branches that interfere with lines of sight on streets or driveways, removing branches
that grow into utility lines.
Pruning for health involves removing diseased or insect infested wood,
thinning the crown to increase airflow and reduce some pest problems, removing broken or damaged limbs encourages wound closure.
Pruning for aesthetics involves enchancing the natural form and character
of trees or stimulating flower production. Pruning for form can be especially important on open-grown trees that do
very little self-pruning.
