Pruning or Trimming?
While both may seem synonymous, pruning and trimming are two entirely different services. While pruning is carried out mainly by trained professionals to influence a tree’s growth carefully, trimming involves maintaining the shape of shrubs, hedges, and trees for aesthetic purposes. Trimming is also carried out to clear branches near electrical wires. Whatever tree service you require, we are well-equipped to offer you that and more. Call for help.
Reasons for Tree Pruning
There are many reasons for pruning trees and shrubs. Managing the risk associated with trees is important because they are constantly present in our surroundings. Maintenance pruning/trimming is needed when trees are too close to houses, drooping over parking spaces, or have limbs too low to walk under. This type of pruning is done on a two to three-year cycle. Structural pruning is done while a tree is young, and it is an excellent way to ensure a healthy, strong crown. Young tree pruning corrects co-dominant leaders' weak angles of branch attachment and gives a tree a better chance of surviving a storm event later in its life. Here’s why tree pruning is essential:
-
If a tree's branches obstruct your vision while driving, they should be trimmed away. Dead or broken branches and limbs can fall off at any time, a serious safety hazard.
-
If branches cross or rub against each other, they should be trimmed or removed so they don’t fall unexpectedly.

When to Prune Your Trees: A Seasonal Guide
Keeping your trees healthy and beautiful involves regular pruning, but the timing depends on the type of tree.
-
Deciduous trees:
For trees that shed their leaves in fall, late winter or early spring is an ideal time. Pruning just before new growth begins allows for faster healing of any cuts. If you have flowering varieties and can't bear to snip off blooms, wait until they fade. However, avoid pruning altogether in late summer or fall. New growth at these times might not harden off before winter, making it vulnerable to damage.
-
Conifer trees:
These evergreens are more flexible when it comes to pruning. You can trim them year-round. Winter dormancy is the most common time, aligning with vigorous spring growth. But if you want to maintain a specific size for your conifer, consider summer pruning. This leads to less vigorous new growth compared to winter pruning. Be cautious with deciduous and evergreen trees: avoid pruning in late summer or early fall. New growth might only have time to harden off after winter and could be damaged by cold weather.

Tree Pruning Aftercare: Ditch the Dressing!
Tree pruning in Kingston requires delicate aftercare. Here are a few aftercare tips:
-
Myth busted:
Forget tree wound dressing! It can trap moisture and spread disease.
-
Natural healing:
Trees have their defences and heal best with clean cuts.
-
Sharp tools matter:
Use sharp tools for clean, precise cuts that heal faster.

Callus formation:
Clean cuts encourage callus growth, a tree's natural way to close wounds.

Consult a tree specialist for wound care products in rare cases, such as an encounter with diseases or pests.
