Healthy trees require maintenance and care to remain the beautiful shade trees people love. Every type of tree is at risk from numerous threats including pests, diseases and severe storms. The survival chances of a tree often depend on whether it had adequate care prior to the onset of the problem. One of the best methods of care is through pruning and branch maintenance. If it is not done correctly the tree may lose its appeal even when it remains healthy.
Control Through Pruning
Summer pruning helps to reveal limbs in need and prevents the overgrowth of the tree. For example, pruning a limb to prevent it from growing into a neighboring yard. Winter pruning helps to boost spring growth. Prune flowering trees late in the spring or after all of the blooms die off in the summer
Prune Trees Correctly
Branch Removal in Bronx NY could kill the tree if too many branches are taken at once. Do not leave foliage only at the end of the branch when pruning. Doing so may weaken the limb due to its excessive weight at the end. Removal of all lower limbs to create more lawn space or cutting all limbs on one side of a tree to reduce could cause the tree to be unbalanced and reduces its visual appeal.
Remove Branches Safely
It is possible to cause more damage to a tree by improperly removing a bad limb. The branch cannot be cut all at once because it may split and damage the trunk. Multiple cuts prevent this type of damage and cause less stress to the tree. Professional trimmers also avoid cutting the branch flush to the tree. The branch collar needs to remain to help the wound heal. Without the special cells found in this collar to heal the tree quickly, the tree is more vulnerable to pests and disease.
Branch Removal in Bronx NY takes place when a limb is too damaged to save and at risk of spontaneously falling. If it is done correctly it protects the appearance and health of the tree and ensures the safety of the people and property around it. At Arnoldos Tree Service they protect trees by removing dangerous limbs, repairing damage when possible and inspecting and pruning seasonally to ensure the health of the trees.
