Pruning Techniques That Will Cause a Tree Harm

Topping and tipping are common pruning practices that harm trees and should not be used. Crown reduction pruning is the preferred method to reduce the size or height of the crown of a tree, but is rarely needed and should be used infrequently.

Topping, the pruning of large upright branches between twig nodes, is sometimes done to reduce the height of a tree. Tipping is a practice of cutting lateral branches between nodes to reduce crown width. These practices invariably result in the development of epicormic sprouts or the death of the cut branch back to the next lateral branch below. These epicormic sprouts are weakly attached to the stem and eventually will be supported by a decaying branch.

Improper pruning cuts cause unnecessary injury and bark ripping. Flush cuts injure stem tissues and can result in decay. Stub cuts delay wound closure and can provide entry to canker fungi that kill the cambium, delaying or preventing wound-wood

Customer: They were 300 dollars cheaper so i went with them, Company: thanks for letting us know good luck, 2 days later customer: that company left huge holes in my yard and ruts all in my grass was quoted 1200.00 to fix my yard, company: looks like that company was actually 900 dollars more than us!

Moral to the story: cheaper is not always a better option If you as a homeowner are only wanting the cheapest price totally expect results like this story!
