Pruning Young and Mature Trees

Pruning controls the appearance, shape and growth patterns of the tree and keeps branches from harming structures or people. Improper pruning can cause damage that will last for the life of the tree, or worse, shorten the tree's life.

Pruning mature trees may require special equipment, training and experience. If the pruning work requires climbing, the use of a chain or hand saws, or the removal of large limbs, the use of personal safety equipment, such as protective eye wear and hearing protection is a must.
