How to trim a tree without killing it


You might be tempted to trim a tree by yourself. If you own a small tree, doing this might be possible IF you can get your hands on the correct equipment, a little know-how and protective accessories and do not require a ladder. It is hard to encapsulate several years of learning and skill in a few glib sentences. Nonetheless, several of the common trimming mistakes our team observes and just what to refrain from are described beneath with these tips:

Trimming mistake number 1. - A stub is allowed to remain just where the branch has been cut off. Such stubs can allow rot because trees are unable to repair these fully. Rather, trim near to the main branch or trunk without injuring the 'collar'. Do not cut down very close because it will be sluggish to recover and encourage decay leading to weakness in the principal limb.
Trimming mistake number 2. - Cuts are sometimes too inclined to the direction of the branch and larger than necessary. Your trimming snip needs to be clean and you must attempt to get the minimum cut face achievable. Otherwise, the cut will repair over more sluggishly, requiring more energy which the tree can make use of in other parts of the tree.

Trimming mistake number 3. - Trees are sometimes cut way too drastically. This is normally termed topping and can certainly spur weak growth in the event that it does not terminate the tree. Over exuberance when trimming must be avoided at all costs. Plan to trim no more than 25% from the overall tree canopy within any 1 year to avoid fast growth of weak branches prone to fall in the next strong gust of wind.

Trimming mistake number 4. - The tree is too big to trim down. Untrained people climbing into massive trees can easily and does lead to a very high risk of personal injury as well as property damage below and around the tree. Simply never do it - call the professionals.

How to trim a large tree without killing oneself


Simply say no! Contact Tree Top Pros as a safe alternative. Cutting a larger tree necessitates climbing hardware or hydraulic bucket trucks. There's always a substantial chance of tumbling off normal home ladders causing a major reason for back yard traumas and worse. The limbs of bigger trees are much larger as well as heavier. When cut off, they can easily compromise any climbing gear and can and do wreck the very ladder which is holding you up. You can’t always predict in which direction they will fall with any certainty. This is generally the second area of significant hazard and it really is simply just not worth it.
