Young Tree Training
Young Tree Training is to establish a dominant leader by subordinating
competing stems, space major branches apart by removing or shortening
nearby branches, and anticipate future form and function. Train and
prune early to avoid cutting large branches later.
Mature Tree Pruning
Mature Tree Pruning (Crown Cleaning) is the removal of dead, dying,
diseased, interfering and weakly attached branches in the tree's
crown in order to enhance the tree's health.
Pruning Shrubbery
The general rule of thumb is prune for reduction after flowering.
Shearing Hedges
This is practiced in late spring for containment of new growth and
again in late summer for dormant season tidiness.
