From Our Landscape Architect:
"Trees III - Pruning your tree"
by Janielle Guzinski
Yay, your tree has survived its first year. Now, most trees need occasionally pruning to grow into the best versions of themselves and you could consider some pruning on your tree. Go easy on it at first, but work to get the tree in the shape you want. There are some general rules for pruning as well as specific rules for the specific trees. When they are small, it is easy enough to prune your own trees if you have the rules. As the trees get larger, you may want to hire a landscape company to prune, but they need to know what they are doing. When the tree gets very tall, I would recommend a professional tree company and/or arborist to avoid damaging a large tree but also to make sure you are getting a professional who is insured for that kind of work.
1. Basic pruning rules
The goal of pruning a tree is to get a healthy tree. The following are examples of branches that should be cut from the tree:
- Branches that cross or rub on each other create an open wound where disease can enter.
- Close growing or twiggy interior branches cause a very dense tree with no air movement inside the canopy that is ripe for an insect or fungal infestation.
- Branches that grow at angles below horizontal can be weak.
- Dead or storm damaged branches should be removed as they are dead weight on the tree.
You want to cut branches where a new branch or node is so that the tree can put on its new growth there. The cut should be at about a 45 degree angle above the node with the upper end of the angle pointing to the bud/node/branch.
2. Examples of specific pruning rules
Here are a couple of specific pruning examples in Galveston:
- Crape myrtles, especially young or overly pruned trees, produce suckers at the base of the tree that should be cut off during the dormant season.
- Redbuds do not like to form a strong central leader. If you want a leader on your tree rather than a multi-trunked canopy, prune off competing leaders and extra branches off the main stem to encourage that stem to grow.
- Citrus are prone to insects especially if they have no air movement inside the canopy.
- Many fruit trees do best with branches at a 45 degree angle. Trim off branches that are more horizontal and more vertical in the winter to encourage appropriately angled branches.
