A tree grows by the end of its branches in height, but also in width

Everyone will confirm it to you, it is always nice to have trees in your garden. Whether deciduous (when their leaves fall in autumn) or evergreen (when their foliage lasts all year round), they make a great backdrop. However, they are no different from your other plants in that you need to take good care of them. It is with this in mind that Fernandes Jardins suggests pruning your trees during appropriate periods. By the way, if you didn't know it yet, "pruning" simply means ridding a tree of its unwanted branches.

Prune a tree? To do what ?

It is always interesting to watch the growth of its trees. That said, you need to watch this growth, because if it gets too big, it may cause inconvenience not only to you, but to others as well. It is for this reason that regulations have been put in place. In fact, branches that are too long can potentially fall on people or vehicles. They can also obstruct traffic lanes, obstruct your field of vision or that of your neighbors. Or, they can disrupt the Internet and telephone network. It's just as problematic if your branches hit electrical cables! Be aware that according to the regulations in force, you are required to prune your trees as soon as the branches of them protrude from your neighbor, this also applies in public parks. The latter, however, does not have the right to cut them. On the other hand, it can completely sue you if you are an owner! Also note that in the case of a rental, the pruning costs are the responsibility of the tenant.

Pruning: period, frequency and means When?

Before anything else, remember this: never prune your trees during periods of sap movements. This period can be identified by leaf fall or bud break. Indeed, it can be bad for them. It is also necessary to avoid periods of great heat. We often recommend pruning in winter. At this time, the trees enter into vegetative rest. And so, you don't risk causing them to lose their natural reserves. In addition, the bark is less likely to tear. There is one concern, however, that as the trees are at a standstill, they will not be able to heal right away ... which means they risk attracting fungi and unfortunate diseases. To avoid these inconveniences, you can prune in the middle of spring: healing will then be ensured and your trees will be able to protect themselves against external aggressions. However, the maintenance becomes more consequent, because the quantity of leaves to evacuate necessarily increases because of spring.

Palm trees pruning!

With the very strong presence of pests in our region, pruning palm trees should be avoided during the flight period of adult pests: from March to November. Indeed, the smell of fresh pruning attracts pests.

Winter pruning is still more beneficial as the trees happen to be in a vegetative break, you will have less foliage to shed. It is best to avoid pruning your trees in the middle of the winter or summer season unless you live in a very temperate maritime geographical area.

In the case of more severe pruning with larger diameter cuts it is essential to cover the notches with healing putty if you want to prevent disease transmission. Fernandes Jardins improves the penetration of the sun through the plant.

Fernandes Jardins will lighten the crown of the tree in order to adapt it to its environment, but in addition to minimize wind resistance.
