What is tree pruning?

Tree pruning is the selective removal of branches from a tree. It's like giving your tree a haircut! 

There are many reasons why you might prune a tree, but some of the most common include:

  • Improving the tree's health: This can involve removing dead, diseased, or damaged branches that could make the tree more susceptible to pests and diseases. Pruning can also help to improve air circulation through the tree, which can help to prevent fungal diseases.

  • Improving the tree's structure: This might involve removing branches that are rubbing together or growing in the wrong direction. Pruning can also help to create a stronger branch structure, which can help the tree to withstand wind and storms.

  • Enhancing the tree's appearance: This might involve removing branches that are blocking a view or creating an unwanted shape. Pruning can also help to encourage the growth of flowers and fruit.


At Andor Tree Removal few things we keep in mind when pruning a tree:

  • The best time to prune most trees is in late winter or early spring before the tree starts to put on new leaves. However, there are some exceptions, such as fruit trees, which should be pruned after they have fruited.

  • We always use sharp, clean tools when pruning a tree. This will help to prevent the spread of disease.

  • We have knowledge and experience at Andor Tree Removal.
