Basics in Tree Pruning Trees provide a lot of shade and other environmental benefits. However, you may need to do some trimming for several reasons: Take away decayed boughs and smaller twigs. Reduce the thickness at the top to enhance air movement and allow room for new growth. Lessen the tree’s elevation for safety purposes. Get rid of branches that result to impediments. Form a particular shape for aesthetic purposes. You can opt for the DIY approach or hire a professional tree cutter in case you have no skills to do the job or do not own the proper equipment in trimming or cutting down trees. The bigger trees are more difficult to prune. You need sophisticated gear such as chain saws, cherry pickers and ladders. The principle in trimming is to remove the useless branches and protect the trunk. Clipping should be done on the branch portion of the so- called stem branch joint. This method will protect the trunk and other larger branches that will grow from that trunk. It also facilitates faster healing after the trimming. Pruning should be done in winter or late fall which is the dormant season. However, you can always remove dead twigs anytime. If you are looking for details on tree pruning Perth , click on the link.

Lessen the tree’s elevation for safety purposes.
Get rid of branches that result to impediments.
Form a particular shape for aesthetic purposes.
You can opt for the DIY approach or hire a professional tree cutter in case you have no skills to do the job or do not own the proper equipment in trimming or cutting down trees. The bigger trees are more difficult to prune. You need sophisticated gear such as chain saws, cherry pickers and ladders. The principle in trimming is to remove the useless branches and protect the trunk. Clipping should be done on the branch portion of the so-called stem branch joint.
