Tree Pruning

There are many reasons to prune a tree, I prune to:
- Remove Hazards (low hanging branches)
- Improve the asthetics of the tree or a view
- Remove dead, diseased, damaged and dangerous branches
- Remove water sprouts, suckers, and crossed branches
- Establish dominant leaders (will establish stronger trunk)
- Remove girdling roots (left untouched will kill the tree)
- Create special effects (topiary)
- Control size and direction, (not topping)
- Rejuvenate older plantings
- Control size and direction, (not topping)
