Formative Pruning Specialists
While many trees create their adult shapes naturally as they mature, others require assistance in developing a distinct trunk and a balanced crown formation. Young trees benefit from formative tree pruning because it helps them grow into stronger and better-shaped trees. We usually carry this out within the first few years of a tree’s life (typically 5-10 years). To impact the trees’ shape, structure, and crown size, pruning should begin when they are in the nursery.
Formative tree trimming eliminates any possible weaknesses created by crossed branches or other tree sections that have starter to grow in an unusual manner. In particular, branch removal considerably enhances the structure and health of trees by guaranteeing strong branch attachments and creating a well-spaced canopy.
While formative pruning is beneficial to all trees, it is especially important for fruit-bearing varieties. A balanced form with robust branches will better support heavy harvests.
Pruning deciduous trees is best done in the winter when the branch systems are easier to observe.
Trimming evergreens is common in April when they are just starting to re-grow in the spring.
There are exceptions to these guidelines, and our expert tree surgeons can advise you on the best seasons for your particular tree species.
