How and When to Prune

Description

Pruning is the process of trimming a tree or shrub. Done carefully and correctly, pruning can increase fruit yield; Thus, it is a common agricultural practice. In forestry production it is used to obtain more straight shafts and with less ramifications, therefore of higher quality. In urban trees, its usefulness is, on the one hand, to prevent the risk of falling branches, and on the other, to control the size of trees whose location does not allow their full development.

Often, in gardening, pruning is used to achieve artificial forms in trees or shrubs. Well executed and repeated with the appropriate periodicity can increase their ornamental value. However, it is often improperly practiced (mutilations such as topping), causing wood rot that shortens the life of trees and increases the risk of breaking branches. On the other hand, too radical felling of the tree often compromises its survival.
