Comprehensive Tree Health
An arborist is trained in safe tree removals and stump grinding but that’s not all their training entails. Arborists are called to the field of tree health because they love taking care of trees and forests. During their training, they learn how to provide for trees that are suffering and how to save trees from dying. Everything they do is about making sure trees are thriving.
Some of the strategies they are trained to use to optimize tree health are:
- Proper fertilization
- Soil management
- Tree pruning methods
- Disease identification
- Pest management
- Mulching
General Tree Service has multiple arborists on staff to care for your trees. To get the best for your trees, schedule our teams today.
Common Tree Pruning Methods to Keep Trees Healthy
One of the best things a tree owner can do to keep their trees healthy and beautiful is give them seasonal attention. Whether that means mulching in the spring or applying fertilizer, trees that are cared for year-round are stronger and more attractive. One of the practices that can really maximize their value is routine pruning. Pruning is the practice of removing branches that are dead or diseased or that compromise the health of the tree. Some of the common types of tree pruning are:
- Crown Thinning: Limbs within a tree canopy can overcrowd and reduce light penetration into the canopy. Crown thinning removes excess growth to allow more light into the canopy.
- Crown Cleaning:Dead branches are an opening for insects and fungus to invade a tree. Crown cleaning removes branches that are dead and diseased so the tree can heal.
- Crown Reduction: Sometimes trees outgrow their space and get too close to structures. Crown reduction reduces the overall size and spread of the tree without compromising its health.
- Crown Raising: Crown raising removes lower branches to allow for free movement under a tree.
- Crown Restoration: Poorly pruned trees need the most attention. When uncontrolled growth occurs as the result of poor pruning, crown restoration gives the tree a second chance.
