The art of tree prunning
Tree pruning is both an art and a science. An
arborist’s job is to assess trees on their individual
merit and determine what approach is needed
for each tree.
The art of pruning means an arborist can
improve a tree’s aesthetics and structural
integrity, whilst making the tree safe and
manageable. When on a job, there are
occasions where we do advocate that a tree
needs removing, either because it has been
pruned poorly in the past, or the tree would
need severe pruning to reach the owners
desired outcome.
The science behind tree pruning draws on
knowledge, experience and expertise to ensure
that tree health remains a top priority.
An arborist may suggest elevating the lower
canopy to let light in underneath, removing
deadwood and thinning (increases airflow
around tree and increasing light to still keep
shape and health of tree), or possibly end
weighting (removing weight) from selected
limbs.
Consulting an arborist or tree surgeon and
investing in your trees can add value to a
property, not to mention enjoyment to the
owner. Call Beaver Tree Services on
