What is the role and relevance of pruning?
It is essentially an integral part of maintaining a living building on your property.
One aspect that pruning helps to achieve is to improve More Growth.
Correct pruning is aimed at encouraging development of good, strong, healthy wood and we do this to appropriately balance the shape of the tree. Fruit trees in particular are encouraged to generate more flower buds during pruning, and the more flower buds, the More Fruit is produced in the autumn, providing clear, added financial benefits for the gardener! In terms of Overall Health, branches that are rotten or damaged are obviously removed to promote tree life and prevent the spread of bacteria and other contaminants; it would be such a shame for an investment on your property for so long to be ruined through lack of correct pruning of rotten branches. With the aid of pruning, your tree can achieve a desirable Shape; even, symmetrical curves, or perhaps we would want to achieve an Enhanced Visual Appeal, so pruning can play a critical role in this as well.
The most significant and often the reason clients contact us, however, is that pruning is critical where Risks are concerned.
An unstable dead branch could, without a doubt, fall on property, or indeed people, but this sort of risk can be reduced, if not eliminated altogether, by ensuring a tree has been optimally pruned. Looking at the bigger picture of the property, you will find pruning enables More Light to reach into your house and ground, providing Improved Views and a more welcoming atmosphere. Pruning trees damaged by bad weather could also play an integral part in the Survival of the tree!
It's important to remember that to get tree pruning right requires an understanding of arboriculture and you should avoid simply hacking chunks of a tree; by incorrect or unnecessary pruning the health of your tree may even be dramatically damaged if not even ultimately lost. Always remember our crucial advice; trim no more than a quarter of a tree's branches per year to ensure appropriate recovery. Techniques for different trees vary dramatically and can sometimes be confusing, so make sure your arborist knows which technique works for what tree!
The best time of year for pruning of trees in Nottingham is definitely over the period of Winter.
During the dormant season of your tree it is less under stress during pruning as growth levels are very low. If you prune your tree in Winter then there will be Less Stress, More Fruit (where applicable) as growth can commence in the spring, Less Pests will be attacking the tree, it's also easier to determine a More Obvious Structure of the tree with no foliage. There will be slight prunings that may need to be carried out during Spring or Summer-however, pruning light jobs only where necessary, where branches are storm damaged or disease may have taken their toll or for the shaping of trees into desired forms as and when appropriate. If you are planning the above sort of thing, make sure that no more than two-thirds of a single session of pruning work is completed as this will have effects on growth.
Let us not forget pruning also enhances More Light through trees.
Our methodical process for tree pruning usually involves evaluating how big the tree is, or what kind of pruning needs to be done, and establishing exactly what size you require the tree to become. We are very clear where tree structural issues are concerned as pruning needs to take them into account; there is little we don't know about pruning which will be detrimental to structural integrity; the main skeleton of the tree cannot, or should not, be cut at all. The next step to carrying out tree pruning effectively is to remove any broken branches.
Removing broken, dangling or dead branches allows the tree to channel resources into what would be called new and productive, new growth and there can be no denying that getting rid of broken and decaying branches will prevent them from taking the valuable energy that is so often used in disease prevention and growth elsewhere on the tree; these will not contribute in any productive way whatsoever. Congested areas of the tree where some growth can obstruct light and air into other sections of the tree need to be managed using pruning; we work so the branches do not clash or grow close enough together to cause a fungal outbreak, thus improving air circulation within the tree canopy.branches that have been pruned to direct inwards is a necessary step we take to ensure growth occurs outwards. We always remove branches so that the best view can be appreciated and the trees aren't grown up against the structure of your house/property.
In some cases pruning work on individual trees need to be done to conform to your desired shape and tree pruning experts know the best way to accommodate this requirement.
It's worth mentioning here the need for professional attention on every aspect; all work we do on your trees has undergone a high level of planning and assessment to take account of safety and tree health above all else and, prior to every service call, we will identify all areas where there may be a hazard and apply the appropriate safety techniques to guarantee we completely reduce every risk possible. All our team are fully insured in the unfortunate, though possible, scenario of personal injury to the workmen or to others at your property, and personal protective equipment is always utilized; all pruning requires the optimum choice of equipment to meet the demand. Once the pruning work has been completed then all branches will need to be cleared away.
