There are many reasons why tree pruning is critical to keep your trees healthy and safe.

All woody plants require some degree of pruning to maintain proper structure, to remove deadwood, and to remove damaged or diseased material.

Proper tree pruning techniques are an absolute must for the short- and long-term health of your woody plants.

Conversely, improper tree pruning, cuts, and limb removal can cause irreparable harm by exposing soft, living tissue to insects and disease–causing severe decay over time.

Proper tree pruning made at the appropriate time, give the plant the best opportunity to heal.
