Tree Pruning
Regular Tree Pruning
Trees are pruned to improve their appearance, help them reach their full potential, and live longer. Pruning trees in a specific way allows for better control of their size and shape. If trees are not pruned regularly, they may become misshapen or grow too large.
It is also important to remove any dead, dying, or diseased branches, as well as branches that rub against each other. These can pose a danger to the tree, people, or property.
Fruit Tree Pruning
Pruning fruit trees is essential for their health and to enhance the quantity and quality of the fruits they bear. There are two main types of fruit tree pruning: winter pruning and summer pruning.
- Winter Pruning: Pruning fruit trees while they are dormant promotes growth in the next season. It can also help reduce the quantity of the crop, resulting in better-quality fruit.
- Summer Pruning: Pruning fruit trees in summer inhibits growth, resulting in more fruit. This is a good time to prune established fruit trees to keep them in good shape and size, making it easier to net the trees and pick the fruit.
Our Approach
- Tools: We use sharp gardening tools to prevent damaging branches, and we sterilise our tools before, between, and after pruning different fruit trees. This minimises the risk of spreading diseases from one tree or plant to another.
- Technique: Our team members are knowledgeable about the right ways to prune fruit trees. We remove suckers, diseased and dead branches, and any branches that are scraping on the ground. We also remove branches in the centre of the fruit tree to enhance airflow and sunlight, minimising the risk of disease. Additionally, we cut back any new branches that have formed this season (the long vertical branches) to maintain the fruit trees’ manageable size.
