Tree Pruning

Tree pruning is removing specific branches or stems to benefit the whole tree.

Why Prune A Tree?
Tree pruning removes dead, damaged and diseased branches to help prevent insects or bacteria from entering the tree.
The correct pruning creates & maintains a strong tree structure and encourages the tree to grow according to its natural or your preferred shape.

What Type Of Pruning May We Recommend?

  • Canopy thinning – to increase air and sunlight to all parts of the tree
  • Removing suckers and rogue forms – to help the tree put all its energy into the main trunk and branches
  • Removing crossed branches – these can rub, causing damage and allowing disease into the tree
  • Removing potential hazards – low growing and eye level branches, or parts at risk from storm damage

Pruning can stimulate growth in sparse areas of the tree. Pruning can also restrict growth where needed as can be seen in these photos

When Should You Prune A Tree?
Dead, damaged, and diseased branches should be removed as soon as possible. It is possible to prune at any time of the year.  However, some trees will respond better from being pruned at a particular time of year.  Chopwell Trees will be pleased to discuss the appropriate options for your trees with you.
