If you were to speak with a trained arborist or horticulturalist, you’ll find that pruning is one of the most effective strategies for maintaining the health and appearance of your plants and trees
Pruning trees and plants helps in many ways such as:
Encouraging new limb growth
Promotes flowering and fruiting
Helps prevent pest infestation and plant disease
Apart from improving the health and aesthetics of your plants and trees, pruning helps prevent any property damage from falling branches, particularly branches close to your home and powerlines
If plants/trees have been planted too close to foundations or structures such as driveways or walkways, the roots can often grow underneath these structures and cause them to crack or become damaged, to prevent this it’s important to remove the tree or plant before the structures are damaged
