interior of the plant. Exposure to the sun will lead to full expansion of foliage and maximization of
photosynthesis.

imperative reason why you should hire an arborist to do the pruning activity. As you may have noticed,

encountering diseases. Through this process, potential damage to the main branch will be prevented. Only
those injured, dead and dying branches will be removed for the sake of tree health. Pruning not only ceases
the spreading of disease, it also assists treating it.

situation, you are living in an urban or sub urban areas having a restricted place. You still decide to grow a
tree for personal aesthetic satisfaction. Having been said the situation, what do you think will be the major

means two branches growing near the top of a tree that grow straight up and become equally dominant. To
avoid branches from splitting and tearing wood cause by heavy winds, it is highly recommended to cut off
one of the dominant branches. This will allow the other branch to grow and act as the only dominant
branch. Remember: The closer you get to the top of the tree, the less dominant a branch should be.
