However, to grow from seedling to a mature tree in the urban forest, they need our help. They are the largest, oldest living organisms on the planet and can live long, healthy lives with some assistance. We often place trees in less-than-favorable growing locations that don&#8217;t allow natural development and maturity and often require pruning to develop a durable structure, improve clearance and maintain aesthetics.<\/p>\n<p>Pruning has been called &#8220;one of the best, worst maintenance practices&#8221; performed on trees. The process creates wounds, which have a major impact on plant processes. Improper cutting on a tree causes severe damage or even death. To prune properly, it is important to understand both the proper techniques and how the tree responds to pruning.<\/p>\n<p>Check out &#8220;<a title=\"Lo esencial para la poda de \u00e1rboles\" href=\"https:\/\/mdc.itap.purdue.edu\/item.asp?Item_Number=FNR-506-S-W#.VmHlhGSrS3f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lo Esencial Para la Poda de \u00c1rboles<\/a>&#8221; or &#8220;<a title=\"Tree Pruning Essentials\" href=\"https:\/\/mdc.itap.purdue.edu\/item.asp?Item_Number=FNR-506-W#.VmHlfWSrS3e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tree Pruning Essentials<\/a>&#8221; and make sure you\u00a0are pruning your trees to maximize safety, aesthetics, and tree health!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resources:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a title=\"Lo esencial para la poda de \u00e1rboles\" href=\"https:\/\/mdc.itap.purdue.edu\/item.asp?Item_Number=FNR-506-S-W#.VmHlhGSrS3f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lo Esencial Para la Poda de \u00c1rboles<\/a>\u00a0<em>(Tree Pruning Essentials)<\/em>&#8211; The Education Store, Purdue Extension Resource Center<br \/>\n<span id=\"ms-rterangepaste-end\"><\/span><a title=\"Instalacion de arboles: Proceso y practicas\" href=\"https:\/\/mdc.itap.purdue.edu\/item.asp?Item_Number=FNR-433-S-W\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instalaci\u00f3n de \u00c1rboles: Proceso y practicas<\/a>\u00a0<em>(Tree Installation)<\/em>\u00a0&#8211; The Education Store, Purdue Extension Resource Center<br \/>\n<a title=\"Tree Pruning Essentials\" href=\"https:\/\/mdc.itap.purdue.edu\/item.asp?Item_Number=FNR-506-W#.VmHlfWSrS3e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tree Pruning Essentials<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; The Education Store<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/fnr\/extension\/trees-and-storms-mitigating-the-damage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trees and Storms: Understanding Damage, Risk and Recovery<\/a> \u2013 Got Nature?
