How to prune trees correctly: What Not To Do

Posted by The Hills Tree Lopping on 3 Jun 2024

Pruning trees is an essential part of maintaining their appearance and health However, it’s not a task that should be done lightly. Unexperienced, ineffective methods, or the use of incorrect tools could cause severe damages to your trees or even render them inaccessible. This article will discuss the things you need to avoid when pruning to keep your trees in good shape and beautiful for many years to come.

Don’t Prune at the Wrong Seasonal Time

One of the most common mistakes people do when trimming is to do it during the wrong time of the season. Pruning at the wrong time can interfere with the tree’s natural growth pattern and make it more susceptible to pests and diseases. In general, it’s best to prune deciduous trees during the winter when they are dormant and conifers in the spring and early summer.

Beware of using the wrong tools

Another problem is that people use the wrong tools for the job. Old or worn-out tools can cause harm to the tree, and increase the risk of illness, while employing tools that are too big or heavy may cause unnecessary damage. Be sure to have the appropriate tools for the job, and keep them sharp and maintained.

Don’t Remove Too Much at At

While it is tempting to prune heavily to achieve an ideal form or dimension, removing too much at once could cause harm to the tree. Pruning should be performed slowly, spread over many years in order so that the tree can recover between pruning cuts.

Don’t cut too close to the Trunk

When pruning, it’s important to not cut too close to the tree’s trunk. This could leave the tree susceptible to diseases as well as leaving unattractive stubs which can be difficult to get rid of. Cut your branches just outside the branch collar which is the elevated area where the branch meets the tree’s trunk.
