Posted by Christchurch Tree Pruning on 24 Sep 2024

Pruning trees is an essential aspect of maintaining their appearance and health However, it’s not an activity to be undertaken lightly. Inexperience, improper methods, or the use of improper equipment can cause serious harm to your trees or even render them irreparable. This article will explain what to avoid while pruning to keep your trees healthy and beautiful for the years to come.

Don’t prune at the wrong Time of Year

One of the most frequent mistakes people commit when they prune is doing it in the wrong time of the year. Pruning at the wrong time can disrupt the tree’s natural growth pattern and expose it to pests and diseases. In general, it is best to cut down deciduous trees in the winter months when they are dormant and conifers in the late spring or early summer.

Use the right tools

Another problem is that people use the incorrect tools for the job. Old or worn-out tools can cause harm to the tree and make it more vulnerable to illness, while using instruments that are big or heavy can cause unnecessary damage. Be sure to have the right tools for the job and keep them in good shape and maintained.

Do Not Remove Too Much at One time.

Although it can be tempting to cut the tree heavily to attain the desired shape or size, removing too much at once can end up being harmful on the plant. Pruning should always be performed gradually, over several years in order to allow the tree to recuperate between pruning cuts.

Don’t Cut Too Close to the Trunk

When pruning, it is important to not cut near to tree’s trunk. The tree could be at risk of disease, as well as leave unattractive stubs which can be difficult to get rid of. Make your cuts within the collar of the branch that is the area raised that connects the branch to the tree’s trunk.
