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