The difference between pruning and trimming
Pruning is a more deliberate and strategic process focused on the long-term structure and health of the tree. It involves removing specific branches or stems to:
- Improve plant health By removing dead, diseased, or damaged parts.
- Stimulate growth: By encouraging new shoots and branches to develop.
- Shape the plant: By controlling its size and form.
- Increase productivity: By maximizing fruit or flower production.
Pruning typically involves cutting larger branches and requires more specialized tools like pruning saws or loppers.
Trimming, on the other hand, is a more general term for cutting back the outer growth of a tree. It is often done for aesthetic reasons, to maintain a neat appearance, or to control the size of a tree, shrub, or bush. Trimming usually involves smaller cuts and can be done with hand pruners or shears.
Types of Pruning
- Crown Reduction: We carefully reduce trees’ height and spread, maintaining their natural shape while improving light and airflow. This technique is essential in tight urban spaces and promotes healthy long-term growth.
- Crown Thinning: By selectively removing crossing, weak, or dead branches, we increase light penetration and air circulation within the tree. Thinning also makes trees less susceptible to breakage during storms, a critical consideration in NYC.
- Crown Raising: We expertly remove lower branches to provide necessary clearance for walkways buildings, or to enhance views. Our careful branch selection ensures the health and overall form of the tree are preserved.
- Vista Pruning: We combine aesthetic goals with tree health by strategically pruning branches to open up views of landmarks, skylines, or gardens. This careful approach maximizes both beauty and sunlight.
- Pollarding and Espalier: These specialized techniques allow us to create unique tree forms or manage trees in restricted spaces. We possess in-depth knowledge of tree biology, ensuring these techniques are applied safely and with the long-term health of your trees in mind.
