Tree Training
Ben Franklin is credited with saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." This is absolutely true concerning tree pruning.
​
Pruning is easy. Anyone can do it, right?
Well, yes and no. While anyone can purchase loppers or a pruning saw and using those tools is not difficult, there is more to pruning.
​
Pruning incorrectly can actually harm the tree and cause more unwanted limbs which may be costly to repair or even hazardous.
​
So what is "correct pruning"?
Correct pruning requires a knowledge of tree biology and a vision of growth potential. It is a lot of science and a little art. Training a tree when it is young and easy/cheap to prune, will prevent expensive restoration projects in the future. it is quite a bit like raising children.
​
We can train your tree so that when it is old, it will not depart from you.
