When should trees be pruned?
First of all, we must ask ourselves about tree pruning. It consists of cutting down certain branches of a tree in order to make it aesthetically prettier and more attractive. The cutting of certain branches is necessary to allow the tree to be less bulky for the house. A regular cut helps to create safer and brighter play or relaxation looks. Nevertheless, it is first necessary to analyze the reasons for cutting certain branches in order to conclude whether they are valid.
The Best Time to Proceed With Tree Pruning
The ideal time to prune a tree has always been in autumn. After the leaves have fallen off, it is easier to observe bulky branches and to cut them. However, it is important to do this before the branches freeze and before cold weather.
However, it is now very popular to cut branches in late spring and early summer. With the leaves growing in the trees, it is easy to see the actual size of the tree and analyze what really needs to be cut. In addition, the healing of the cut is faster in summer.
Tree Health
To have healthy trees, it is important to cut branches that are intertwined or that grow directly to the same place. Branches that are dead or sick should also be cut down to prevent disease formation in the tree. Thus, cutting some branches can improve the light that will enter the trunk and branches. A large amount of light will improve the health and growth of the tree.
