Tree Pruning Wichita Falls TX

When you see tree pruning and tree cutting grouped right near one another, you might be thinking that they are the same thing. Although they sound similar, there is a noticeable difference between tree pruning and tree trimming. Tree trimming & cutting are primarily done to maintain a tree's physical appearance while tree pruning is primarily done for the maintenance of a tree's total health. Just because a tree has dying branches does not mean that the entire tree is also going to die with the branches. We can see where these branches are and cut them properly allowing the nutrients to flow to the tree's healthiest parts.

Why Does Pruning Happen?

• Certain species can have an increasing/decreasing growth rate with numerous pruning methods as well as using these methods at the opportune time. If you see any plant life that is not growing to your expectations, one of our arborists will gladly work to get it to the size you had expected.
• The most important reason to prune is primarily to prevent diseases and pests from spreading. It is definitely better to prune sooner rather than later if you see any signs of infection on the branches. Infected branches are places where termites, ants and other pests love to go. As a result of this, they can spread to other plant life on your property or even make it into your actual home.
• Maintaining a tree's healthy and natural look is extremely important. We would prune away those branches grow inconsistently and impact other limbs or even the whole tree if it is not taken care of immediately. Those branches commonly grow into each other and cause damage to each other over time.
  
• Pruning is needed in order for injury and property damage prevention. You may be responsible for any liabilities that happens on your property such as injury and it is always to be safe by lessening those risks.
  
• Lastly, pruning assists in increase of fruit yield and flower blooming for certain species. For some of those trees, more advanced techniques and skills are needed to prune them. Since we have been doing this for so long and employ only the most seasoned crew members, we are masters of every technique needed for those trees. We will be more than happy to tell you all about those techniques and show you how to get the most out of a tree's fruit and flower blooming yield.

How Often and When Is Pruning Done?

Determining whether pruning trees will effective or not is done on various factors. First, you must know what your goal for your specific issue is. As we have stated before, pruning is one of the more difficult parts of our jobs and we could make a book detailing all every different technique that we have used to prune trees. We know that this would probably make you fall asleep reading a book we created, so here are some general guidelines to decide if your tree needs work done (just a reminder, there will always be exceptions due to each species' uniqueness):

• Basic pruning and basic tree cleaning can be completed anytime in the year, even in the winter.
  
• If you want to see your tree grow the most, we recommend pruning in the winter after the coldest periods have finished. When correctly pruned in the winter, the tree is tricked into making up for the limbs it lost. By the time spring begins, those newly grown limbs transport even more nutrients across the tree making the tree grow even more.
  
• If your tree has grown much larger than you had originally though and want to stop its rapid growth rate, it is recommended to prune during the summer. It is also a great course of action to prune if the seasonal growth has stopped. When this happens, the amount of open leaf surface goes down which creates food passing it to the roots. With less open surfaces, food absorption is not as strong as it was and the tree's growth rate then decreases.
