Pruning Guide
A central theme exists in arboriculture and this same theme is at the core of our work at Auckland Tree Services – care for trees. A tree is a living entity which presents a very practicle problem. Poor pruning practices can cause innumerable problems in the future which will cost you money and devalue your property - financially and aesthetically.
A knowledgable arborist should be able to create a synergy between your needs and the needs of your trees. A simple rule of thumb when it comes to pruning: less is more.
Radical (extreme) removal of branches and height of a tree will, in most cases, result in either:
1.
Rapidly increased regrowth (at exactly the point you did not want to see branches) or, on the other side,
2.
Eventual decline and death of the tree.
Removing / pruning while taking into consideration the health of the tree results in:
1. Restricting rampant regrowth and
2. Retaining the natural, graceful, artistic lines of the tree.
And, just as important, trees that are managed poorly and sometimes selfishly can be dangerous. Dangerous to you or your neighbor and you could be liable. At Auckland Tree Services we take our work very seriously; the health, beauty and safety of your trees are our paramount concern.
