Proper Pruning is an essential part of tree health care. The best times of the year to prune are early spring and late fall. I.S.A. Certified Arborists are taught to identify the branch collar of a tree and make cuts that protect the protection zone of a tree. An improper cut leads to many structural problems and decay that could cost the tree. Furthermore, improper cuts may also cause weakness of tree branches. Crown cleaning is a practice that is used to minimize a tree from Dead, Dying, Diseased, or Decayed wood. By removing the dead limbs on the tree a homeowner can minimize the decay developing in the tree. Crown cleanings also take out weak attachments and or Codominant Stems.

NEVER top a tree! The improper pruning technique called, topping, hurts trees. Be sure that you or the person you've hired for tree care know about the dangers in topping trees. Hiring an I.S.A. Certified Arborist can prevent this improper technique and save you and your tree.
