Tree Pruning – Epping



The process of Trimming and pruning is necessary for trees to make them stay healthy, strong and also to maintain an aesthetically pleasing shape. When trees are pruned properly they require less maintenance and they are less likely to become a safety hazard in the future. A professional arborist from North Shore Tree Services can give advice on the proper caring of trees and also on the pruning, removal and lopping techniques to customers in Epping. These professionals give advice to customers on tree pruning in Epping which are:
·         The best to trim or prune a tree during its dormant season except if any hazards exist.
·         It is very important to take the Size of the branch to be pruned into consideration and the general rule to be followed is that if the size of the stem is less than 5 cms in diameter then its pruning is safe, if the size is 5-10 cms diameter then the decision to carry out pruning should be avoided and if the diameter is more than 10 cms then the pruning should be done only if it is absolutely necessary for the tree.
·         It is advised to only trim those branches which have weak V shaped narrow angles and not to cut the branches which have U shaped angles.
·         The lateral branches whose thickness is less than half the diameter of the stem at the point of branching should be removed.
·         The ratio of the crown to the tree height  should be 1:3 after the pruning has been done
·         Pruning of branches which are young are recommended.

Tree lopping or pruning is the process of trimming the different unwanted sections of a tree. It may involve cutting away branches or even shortening trunks. There are two different schools of thought in regard to the practice of lopping because some people feel that the process is beneficial while others believe that the practice should be avoided if possible.

·         Sick, dead or unstable trees may become unsafe and so have to be removed.
·         The trees which obstruct the building or which may be obstructing the construction of a new building have to be removed.
