At Arboxygene, we are ready to provide you with a complete service regarding this task. Discover everything you need to know about pruning and our offer.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2>What is pruning?<\/h2>\r\n<p>Pruning consists of trimming the branches of a tree. This process aims above all to limit the growth of the tree, to improve its health, or to preserve your environment from a possible fall of the tree on an infrastructure.<\/p>\r\n<p>Pruning is not a task that is done anyhow. There are specific techniques to follow to avoid bruising the tree. This is the reason why it is advisable to leave this kind of work to the care of professionals.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Why prune your trees?<\/h2>\r\n<p>Pruning is good for the development and growth of trees of any age. This operation is carried out mainly for health, safety and aesthetic reasons.<\/p>\r\n<p>Several reasons can then lead you to prune the trees on your property. First of all, it is a preventive task allowing you to prevent the dead or fragile branches of your trees from accidentally falling into your yard. It could be dangerous if children or animals are under the trees when the fall occurs.<\/p>\r\n<p>Next, pruning is necessary to lighten a tree. When its branches start to get too overgrown, it exposes itself more and more to strong winds, which increases the risk of falling. This process also makes it possible to ventilate the foliage and bring an aesthetic and decorative side to the trees.<\/p>\r\n<p>Finally, pruning is necessary when some branches of your trees are infected with pests or diseases. Thus, you limit their spread and ensure that the remaining branches remain healthy.<\/p>\r\n<ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\">\r\n<li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\r\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" class=\"wp-image-1132\" title=\"Pruning\" src=\"http:\/\/arboxygene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/taillage-arbre-Bromont-ARBOXYGENE-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Pruning\" data-id=\"311\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/arboxygene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/taillage-arbre-Bromont-ARBOXYGENE.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/arboxygene.com\/taillage-arbre-bromont-arboxygene-2\/\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arboxygene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/taillage-arbre-Bromont-ARBOXYGENE-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/arboxygene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/taillage-arbre-Bromont-ARBOXYGENE-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/arboxygene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/taillage-arbre-Bromont-ARBOXYGENE-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/arboxygene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/taillage-arbre-Bromont-ARBOXYGENE-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/arboxygene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/taillage-arbre-Bromont-ARBOXYGENE-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/arboxygene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/taillage-arbre-Bromont-ARBOXYGENE.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=d8Q-p-SrWBE<\/div>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<div>\r\n<h2>When should you prune your trees?<\/h2>\r\n<p>The best time to prune your trees is in the fall, when the leaves are falling. Indeed, the branches are exposed, which allows you to more easily detect those that are diseased. With a clear view, it is also easier to access the branches to be cut. If you do it in the spring, this period is conducive to the rise of sap, which could cause significant flows.<\/p>\r\n<p>Pruning can also be done in an emergency, before the arrival of a snowstorm or hurricane. This allows you to anticipate a possible fall of branches and to avoid accidents which could be caused.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Many ways to prune<\/h2>\r\n<h3>\u00b7\u00a0 \u00a0 Silvicultural pruning<\/h3>\r\n<p>Silvicultural pruning consists of pruning branches in order to produce trees that can be exploited for commercial purposes. Regular pruning is necessary to avoid the appearance of knots, which optimizes the quality of the wood. Forestry pruning is particularly tricky and you need special know-how to do it successfully.<\/p>\r\n<h3>\u00b7\u00a0 \u00a0 Ornamental pruning<\/h3>\r\n<p>Ornamental pruning involves pruning a tree to fit a particular shape. It is also a question of ornamental pruning when the size of the tree becomes too imposing and threatens public infrastructures such as electric wires. It not only frees up space, but also brings an aesthetic side to the tree while limiting its growth.<\/p>\r\n<h3>\u00b7\u00a0 \u00a0 Fruit pruning<\/h3>\r\n<p>Finally, there is a question of fruit pruning on trees that regularly bear fruit. Thanks to this process, you improve the productivity of the fruit tree both in terms of the quality and the quantity of fruit. This type of pruning is suitable for both pome and stone fruit trees. The pruning of fruit trees is recommended towards the end of autumn, between October and November. If fruiting ends early enough, you can do it as early as August or September.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Pruning supported by Arboxygene<\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>Safety pruning:<\/strong> cut dangerous, too heavy, cracked, rotten branches&#8230; So many dangerous elements for humans and for infrastructures<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Directional pruning:<\/strong> Removing branches that unbalance a tree to give it a more viable aesthetic appearance.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Thinning pruning:<\/strong> remove interfering branches that are too tight to create wells of light and banish the influence of the wind.
