How to trim a tree without killing it


You might perhaps be persuaded to trim a tree yourself. Assuming that you own a small-sized tree, this may well be achievable IF you have the right equipment, a little bit of practical knowledge, protective gear and do not require a ladder. It's tricky to summarize several years of training and practice in several sentences. Nevertheless, a number of the common mistakes we encounter along with what to abstain from are described in these tips:

Trimming mistake #1 - A stub is left just where the tree limb has been cut off. Stubs will allow decay since trees are unable to repair them effectively. Rather, cut near to the main branch or trunk without breaking the 'collar'. Do not cut very close since it will certainly be slow to recover and encourage rot leading to a weakness in the main limb.

Trimming mistake #2 - Cuts are too oblique to the direction of the tree branch and also bigger than necessary. Your trimming snip must be clean and you have to try for the minimum cut face feasible. If you don't, the cut will likely repair over a lot more gradually, requiring additional energy that the tree can use in other parts of the tree.

Trimming mistake #3 - Trees are trimmed back way too radically. This is sometimes termed topping and will spur weak growth supposing that it does not kill the tree. Try to crop no more than 25% of the entire tree canopy in any one year. This threshold is important; anything more than 25% will launch the tree into a desperate surge to make up the lost foliage (and the food they give the tree) by sending up fleshy, weak branches prone to disease.

Trimming mistake #4 - The tree is too sizeable to cut. Unskilled folks climbing up large trees can and does result in a strong likelihood of an accident along with property damages below and about the tree. Just don't ever do this - get in touch with the experts.

Simply say no! Contact Tree Top Pros instead. Clipping a big tree involves climbing equipment or even hydraulic bucket lifts. There's a huge danger of slipping from regular home ladders causing a major reason for accidental injuries and worse in your garden. The limbs of bigger trees are, well, much larger and heavier. They are able to compromise any climbing equipment when cut and can and do sweep away the very ladder which is managing to keep you aloft. This is the next area of danger and it is simply just not worth it.
