Advanced Pruning Techniques for New England Trees
In New England, pruning plays a major role in a tree's longevity. Pruning the correct live branches can have a dramatic impact on how trees respond to gravity, wind, and storms. Structural pruning, designed to reduce growth rate and weight on co-dominant limbs, is the most effective method of minimizing damage from increasingly harsh weather conditions.
