Pruning vs. Trimming - which do I need?
PRUNING
So what is pruning anyway? Pruning is the practice of removing portions of a tree or shrub for healthy plant development and aesthetic purposes. There are several benefits to pruning, including:
Removes dead and dying branches and stubs allowing room for new growth
Encourages healthy fruit and flower production for trees and shrubs
Deters pest infestation, promoting the plant’s natural shape and healthy growth
Reduces the risk of storm damage to structures from broken branches
Proper maintenance on a young plant provides for adequate growth, requiring less corrective pruning as it matures
TRIMMING
How does trimming differ from pruning? Where pruning focuses on overall health and safety, trimming is primarily about aesthetics. Benefits include:
Neater appearance
Stimulates new branch growth
Prevents crowding of other nearby plants and walkways
Overgrown trees and bushes can shade nearby plants inhibiting their growth
