TREE PRUNING SERVICE

Pruning Experts

Trees are not created equal nor is the rate at which they grow. Why is this important? When we design a tree care plan for a property, there are usually a variety of trees and plants on it. It is important to consider the growth rate and cycle of each type of tree and shrub so that the pruning needs of each can be met.

Proper pruning is beneficial to a tree’s health as removing dead or damaged limbs and branches on a tree will promote its healthy growth, and flowering, and increase its fruit production. Removing over-crowded branches will increase the tree’s absorption of sunlight and improve the circulation of air under the canopy of a tree. Added, the benefits of a regularly pruned tree, are an improved appearance giving a clean shape, and consistent size. Properly pruned and well-maintained trees and plants enhance their curb appeal and can increase property value.

Most importantly proper pruning removes any dying branches because of damage, infection, disease, or pest infestation. This minimized the damage and can prevent the disease, pest infestation, or infection from spreading and advancing to the point of being untreatable. Regular pruning is an effective way to maintain healthy trees, but the best way is by having an annual tree service like ours.

We recommend that those unfamiliar with proper pruning techniques and the time of year the tree should be pruned should not risk harming a tree by trying to prune it themselves. Tree service is extremely dangerous work, and many laypeople are seriously injured or killed each year while trying to prune trees themselves. It is also very physically demanding tree service requires being in excellent physical shape and laypeople can tire quickly putting themselves at even higher risk. These reasons are behind our final recommendation, never prune a tree yourself unless you can do it with both feet on the ground the entire time. If you cannot do this, you need to call a professional tree pruning service, like Chino Tree Service.

HOW TO PRUNE A TREE

We recommend that when making pruning cuts remove branch tissue only leaving stem tissue untouched and taking care not to damage the stem tissue. By cutting branch tissue only when pruning, it will be less likely decay will occur in the stem tissue allowing the wound to heal more efficiently. Trees that are too large to prune while both feet are on the ground require a professional tree service to be pruned safely. Chino Tree service is happy to help with all your tree pruning needs or just to prune one tree. Many people are seriously injured every year trying to prune a tree that is too large and in some cases leads to death.

REMOVING BRANCHES THAT ARE LIVING

First a cut on the branch should be made a small distance from the branch collar on the stem.

This is done to protect the branch collar and the stem from being damaged by the branched weight causing it to break when the cut is being made.

A branch breaking near the branch collar can damage the bark and stem making a wound that would be difficult to heal.

The resulting stub is then of the branch should be removed with a cut angled away from the stem.

Cut as close to the branch axil as possible.

Cut outside of the branch collar and the branch ridge.

Be careful not to injure the stem tissue to ensure the shortest time for wound healing.

REMOVAL OF BRANCHES THAT ARE DEAD

Cut to dead branches following the same technique as for living branches.

The branch collar is easier to see due to the continued growth of the living tissue of the branch collar forming a bulging ring around the dead of the branch.

Be careful not to injure the stem tissue and not to cut into the branch notch.

TREE PRUNING TECHNIQUES

Tree Pruning

Tree pruning removes any damaged and dying branches due to disease, infection, or pest infestation from the tree. These dying branches left on the tree, waste the tree’s energy and nutrients slow its growth, diminishes its health, and increase its vulnerability to infection and disease. A tree having diseased or infected tissue that remains untreated can become destabilized and a physical hazard and liability. and regular pruning catches these issues early when still treatable to avoid this progression.

Crown Cleaning

Crown cleaning is done when a tree is overgrown and it has limbs that need weight reduction. The crown of the tree is removing dead and dying branches in the crown, reducing crowding of the crown and removing weighted limbs to reduce its instability in high winds.

Crown Raising

Crown Raising is a pruning technique done by cutting off the lower branches of a tree to allow clearance under the tree for a path or sidewalk or to provide access to a structure.

Crown Reduction

Crown Reduction Pruning is the technique of pruning a tree to reduce its height by cutting back branches to a lateral with a diameter of at least a third that of the branch removed.

Vista Pruning

Vista Pruning is used to keep a beautiful tree and still enjoy the view it is blocking by selecting branches to prune back to create a window revealing the view and maintaining the tree’s health.

Crown Thinning

Crown thinning removes branches from the interior of a tree’s canopy that is rubbing together or overcrowded. It can remove the tree’s protective bark making it vulnerable to disease infections and pest infestations. It also reduces air circulation and sunlight reaching the interior of the canopy. Crown thinning eliminates these issues and improves the tree’s health.

Crown Restoration

Improper pruning or occasionally strong winds or storms can damage a tree’s canopy causing uneven growth and an unattractive, unnatural, or misshaped appearance. Proper pruning of its branches allows it to grow in its preferred natural shape.
