A tree service in Tioga County NY is responsible for tree pruning. Tree pruning is when trees are selectively cut and trimmed to remove branches and excess foliage. Tree pruning is done for many reasons, it may be that additional light is required, perhaps the tree is a fire hazard or it’s interfering with overhead services. Even without a specific reason, tree pruning is often done annually to keep the tree growing properly and to maintain its health, it is a service which is usually done in the late fall and early spring either after the active growing period or just before it starts again.
When a tree service company in Tioga County NYprunes a tree they are usually doing it to give the tree the ideal shape and to encourage it to grow properly. Different trees are pruned for different reasons, a Christmas tree is pruned for its cone shape, fruit trees are kept pruned to increase the harvest and ornamentals are pruned to give a certain look. When the tree is pruned, any dead and weak branches are removed so that they do not pose a hazard in the event of a storm.
Trees that are located under power lines need to be kept pruned so that they are a safe distance from the overhead wires. Many utility companies will prune the trees as a matter of course as you are giving them right of way for their lines. Trees and ornamental shrubs that are close to the house also pose a problem as they can keep the house in shade which eventually will be the cause of mold and mildew on the surface, including the roof.
Different trees grow in different manners; a well trained arborist knows the growth pattern of trees and the different approaches that must be taken to effectively prune the tree. There are some tree species that need to be really pruned heavily; perhaps as much as 40% of their canopy needs to be removed. Other species are very fragile and need to be pruned gingerly over many years so that the tree will not go into shock. As the pruning takes place after the growth season or just before it starts again in the spring, a good dose of fertilizer will stimulate recovery.
