Pruning of trees consists of removing dead, diseased, or damaged branches to maintain a healthy and beautiful tree. Some trees benefit from further care by thinning for light, air circulation, or decreased resistance to wind. Sometimes it’s necessary to remove branches or stems that will be a problem later or are inhibiting a trees chances to grow and flourish. Every tree is different and requires a professional determination of it’s needs. When you make an appointment with Henry Tree you will be met with an ISA Board Certified Master Arborist® with many years experience working with trees in this area.
We can discuss your pruning goals and make a long term pruning plan for your fruit trees that focuses on their health and appearance. We look at a tree’s natural growth habit and work with the tree rather than against it. Pruning cuts are selectively made to allow the tree to retain and use it’s energy rather than repeatedly spending it on recovery and regrowth.
Cables and braces are installed to give support to areas of the tree that are prone to failure under unusual stress from wind, snow, or ice.
