Ornamental Tree Pruning


"I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of Robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree."
Joyce Kilmer.
December 6, 1886-July 30, 1918.
Trees need maintenance too. Deadwood, "cross over branches", sucker growth, and other undesirable growth needs to be pruned out on a regular basis to maintain the tree’s beauty and health. Many people think that a tree with a lot of little "twiggy" type growth sprouting all along the main branches is healthy. Quite the opposite is actually true. A properly maintained tree does not have much small leafy growth deep within it’s center for a variety of reasons that you can read up on from other web sites. (See my page of links)
Our program is based on proper pruning techniques that are designed to bring or keep your trees in shape over the long haul. If we find a tree that is extremely thick with, for example, low hanging branches, lots of cross over branches rubbing on each other and lots of sucker growth, we would probably suggest a multi-year pruning program taking out some growth each year on a prioritized, limited basis to avoid putting too much stress on the tree. I could go on and on but you get the idea.
