Tree Trimming and Fruit Tree Pruning

Boise Tree Trimming Services

Trimming the wrong limb can cause a tree to become unnecessarily stressed or cease to grow and begin to decay. Contrastingly, appropriate tree and shrub trimming keep the plant healthy and vibrant by promoting growth. We help our valued customers develop a customized trimming schedule based on the trees and plants growing on their respective properties. We strive to do the right amount of trimming to every tree. In Idaho, in between fall and spring is a good time for trimming trees. By this time, deciduous trees have already lost their leaves. However coniferous trees will remain at their usual length.
Here are some important considerations:

• How many trees and shrubs do you want to trim?
• Is a troublesome tree (unhealthy or planted in a poor spot) better suited for removal?
• Should new trees or shrubs be incorporated into the design?
• How low can the branches extend without becoming a problem?

Boise Fruit Tree Pruning

Fruit trees require pruning, which is the cutting and removing of selected parts. There are several horticultural pruning techniques that can be practiced. Pruning often includes cutting branches back and sometimes removing smaller limbs, young shoots, buds, and leaves entirely.

Established orchard practice of both organic and non-organic types typically includes pruning. Pruning can control growth, remove dead or diseased wood, and stimulate the formation of flowers and fruit buds. It is widely stated that careful attention to pruning and training young trees improve their later productivity and longevity, and that good pruning and training can also prevent later injury from weak crotches or forks (where a tree trunk splits into two or more branches) that break from the weight of fruit, snow, or ice on the branches.
