14. What is the definition ofTree Pruning?
Pruning is when you selectively remove
branches from a tree. The goal is to remove
unwanted branches, improve the tree’s
structure, and direct new, healthy growth.

15. What are the benefits of Pruning?
• Say farewell to dead, broken or damaged branches.
• Save your property from potential damage from fallen
branches.
• When you remove old branches, you give trees the green
light to put out healthy, new growth.
• Train trees to grow on your terms so that branches won’t
hang over the roof or stretch into power lines.
• Give trees a clean, polished look that elevates your whole
landscape.
• Set the tree up with a good foundation for long-term health.

16. Types or Methods of Pruning
THINNING
- removes limbs all the way back to their
branch of origin. It’s a method used to free up a
full canopy so that more sunlight can come
through.

17. Types or Methods of Pruning
CLEANING
- is like fine-tuning a tree. Simple cuts are
used to clear out dead, diseased, and damaged
limbs to give the tree a polished look.

18. Types or Methods of Pruning
REDUCTION
- reduction cuts reduce a tree’s height or
width.This method typically shortens branches
that are inching into utility lines or reduces a
wide-spread tree.

19. Types or Methods of Pruning
STRUCTURAL (subordination)
- structural cuts could involve one or more of
the above methods to improve a plant’s
structure and long-term health.
