Tree trimming and pruning

Trimmer and pruner, Sorel-Tracy

Pruning and trimming are without a doubt the most popular tree care services. At Emondage Sorel-Tracy, we are no exception to this trend. However, did you know that pruning and trimming are not identical operations? Certainly, for both, cuts are made. However, there are differences in the way they are done. 

Pruning or trimming a tree: what is the difference?

Pruning is a task that pays attention to its long-term impact on tree health. It is therefore staggered over time so as to have the least possible harmful consequences on the tree. The actions are moderate and done with caution. Reflection is present at every moment, to ensure that the action that is about to be taken will not hurt the plant too much. Everything is thought out. Pruning takes into account the health of the tree. This precaution is simply part of the rules of the art. However, in order to remain within the framework of a pruning, it is possible that the targeted objectives require some concessions.  

Pruning, on the other hand, gives priority to the objectives, which are often safety-related. It can also be to allow the realization of work authorized by a municipality. Also, in order to meet the imperative objective in view, the tree may be affected. The goal simply justifies the consequences incurred.

There is a perfect example to understand the radical nature of pruning. Just think of the trees drastically cut down by Hydro-Quebec pruners to protect the electrical wires. As for you, you may have to protect your other trees from an infestation. In this case, it is a shame but necessary: the health of the plant cannot be a priority.​

Tree trimming

The reasons for trimming vary. The technique is used when pruning does not meet the objectives but the conditions for cutting are not met. In the public sector, the protection of electrical or other infrastructures of a public nature sometimes makes pruning necessary. In your situation, a large branch from a tree could threaten your roof if not cut down. If you are planning a major construction project and a large plant is in the way, you may also need to prune. 
  
Why is a tree's life at risk with trimming? Because the drastic nature of pruning is a powerful shock to the trees. It makes it difficult for them to recover. Sometimes they die. Our certified arborists can advise you. So, call us at Emondage Sorel-Tracy at 450-954-2664

Tree pruning

Pruning is a technique that can prevent future pruning, and therefore the negative consequences on a tree that would follow. Hence the importance of always deciding early on when it comes to trees. 
  
A skilled tree pruner carefully assesses the appearance of a tree with his eyes. His goal is to identify the branches that need to be cut back, limiting himself to what is essential. Dead, broken or diseased branches will be pruned. Those that remain are stronger. The structure is strengthened. At the same time, possible dangers (breakage or injuries) related to large branches that would fall without a fortuitous event being responsible are avoided. 
 
The gestures are more precautionary. Over time, they can allow for the reorientation of the trajectories of the thrust in order to gradually move the branches of a plant away from a construction. Branches can be pruned so that another plant does not see its light restricted by the monopolizing branch of its fellow plant. Pruning can also be used to direct light and shade to help achieve landscaping objectives on your property. For example, you will want to make sure that where you want to install a sitting area, there is sufficient shade. Fruit trees are also more abundant when pruned. 
  
The technique is therefore an integral part of good care for your plants. However, it is important to know not only what to do, but also the particularities of each species. Thus, working with the assurance of experience, the pruner provides your trees with greater strength, better health and therefore increased longevity.​
