Why is it important to prune trees?
- Healthier growth: Pruning removes diseased, dead or damaged branches, which can hinder the tree's growth and harbour pests.
- Better light supply and airflow: The thinned canopy lets in more sunlight and air, reducing the chance of fungal diseases.
- A safer environment: Old branches that are about to break off can pose a threat to property or the environment.
- Aesthetic appearance: Well-tended trees add beauty and harmony to the overall appearance of the garden.
- Higher yields: In the case of fruit trees, proper pruning helps to produce more abundant and better quality fruit.
When should you prune your trees?
- In winter or early spring: For most deciduous trees, winter or early spring pruning is the best time to prune, as the tree is dormant.
- In summer: For some varieties, summer pruning can help maintain the shape of the tree and remove diseased or weak shoots.
- Not recommended in autumn: Autumn pruning can increase the risk of frost and slow wound healing.
How to prune trees correctly?
- Use sharp, clean tools: Pruners and saws should be disinfected to avoid the spread of disease.
- Remove dead and damaged branches: These can hinder the growth of the tree and can be a danger.
- Shape the structure of the wood: Thin out branches that are too dense to allow more sunlight and air to penetrate the canopy.
- Don't do too much at once: Over-pruning can cause stress to the tree. In general, 20-30% of branches should not be removed at once.
- Cut in the right place: The branches are cut back above the branching to help the wound heal.
- Aftercare: Larger cuts are covered with a wound dressing if necessary.
