The practices of some tree services have given tree crown reduction a bad name. The fact is, the canopy of a tree can be successfully reduced without adverse effects on the tree or surrounding environment. However, if the tree is large and intrusive, you may want to consider other options, such as tree removal.
The tree in the picture to the right has had about a 15% reduction in the overall crown width and height. The reduction to the crown of this tree is within safe limits, however, the canopy may have been over-thinned a bit. When this happens, the tree can be open to scalding by the sun’s rays among other problems.
One thing you should never do, when your tree or plant is already dealing with a problem, is over-prune or over-trim. Plants and trees move water and nutrients throughout their system continually. In order for plants and trees to have the energy they need for this task, they have to be able to convert light energy into chemical energy, for storage and use when needed.
This is accomplished through a process known as photosynthesis, carried out, particularly in the green leaf of the plant. In some plant species, over-pruning can disturb this process enough to cause irreparable damage to the plant’s ability to defend itself against an attack.
Inspect Annually
Benjamin Franklin once said, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. It is always a good plan to have your trees inspected at least once every year to prevent potential problems. If there are known environmental circumstances that are impacting your area, then a temporary quarterly or bi-annual inspection should not be ruled out.
As a homeowner or business owner, you can save hundreds and even thousands of dollars, and possible property damage or bodily injury, simply by having your trees routinely inspected and maintained.
