1. The overall health of a tree can be improved with proper trimming and removing branches that are either dead or in the process of dying. Not only does this prevent further decay, but it reduces the risk of damage to your property.

2. Trimming improves the overall appearance of the tree and enhances it’s structure. This keeps it from developing broad or weak branches that can either grow weak areas or fight for space in the crown.

3. Increasing the sun exposure and overall air circulation throughout the tree and the landscape below will improve the tree’s health. Be aware and keep watch for sunscald which affects some leafless trees during winter time.

4. It is well known that pruning fruit trees can improve the size and quantity of the fruit. Fruit trees should be pruned in later winter times to expose the center of the tree to sunlight.

5. If you have a newly planted tree, pruning can help compensate for root loss and help train the tree for shape.

6. Tree trimming can open up your property and give you a whole new view you have never seen before.
