High Winds and Proper Pruning

All pruning should have a reason. A tree is a living organism and a pruning cut is an injury. But if it is done correctly, the tree will benefit from pruning. The top three reasons for pruning are:

• Removal of dead and damaged branches
• Removing live branches for training and proper structure
• Increase light and air movement

After the winds that came through Portland this week. We received calls for tree risk assessments and required pruning to limit.
Pruning helps trees and limits risk to people and property.
