\"Tree\u200bUrban Forestry Specialist\u00a0Lindsey Purcell<\/a>‘s helpful publication “Tree Pruning Essentials<\/a>” is now available\u00a0in a Spanish-language version, “Lo Esencial Para la Poda de \u00c1rboles<\/a>.” This publication explores the techniques behind good pruning, from the planning process before planting to monitoring the tree’s response after the pruning cuts.<\/p>\n

Trees continue to survive in spite of the many challenges they face in the urban environment. 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’t allow natural development and maturity and often require pruning to develop a durable structure, improve clearance and maintain aesthetics.<\/p>\n

Pruning has been called “one of the best, worst maintenance practices” 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

Check out “Lo Esencial Para la Poda de \u00c1rboles<\/a>” or “Tree Pruning Essentials<\/a>” and make sure you\u00a0are pruning your trees to maximize safety, aesthetics, and tree health!<\/p>\n
