Even a Tree Needs Love
Part 3

Physical Love

Pruning and trimming isn't just for shrubs. Every once in a while our trees could do with a haircut as well. Unlike shrubs, however, maintaining a tree is less understood and even less implemented in the landscape.

Trees are usually the largest objects on your property (after your house), and therefore are very prominent aspects of your landscape.

Learning how to properly take care of these treasures is a very rewarding endeavor for yourself, the landscape, and of course, the trees.

Last week we discussed the biological ways of caring for your mature and established trees. Now we turn to the different physical ways of maintaining these towering plants.

These different physical practices are trimming, pruning, and preventative measures to take during a construction process. By following these guidelines along with the guides for biological care, your trees will stay strong, be healthy, and look magnificent for many years to come.

Though most are surprised to hear it, trimming and pruning are two different practices. Pruning is a way to train the plant to grow in a specific way, whereas trimming is a less invasive procedure that removes excess growth and helps to reshape an already existing form.

When trimming your trees, your goal is to create a trunk clear of suckers and side shoots. You also might want to trim the branches for a good canopy shape when necessary. However, don't attempt to trim large trees without the proper equipment and knowledge on how to perform it successfully. Not only could you potentially harm the tree, you could harm yourself as well!

One of the most useful techniques for trimming trees is a process called the three-step cut. It is used for trimming wayward branches from trees. You make the first cut about 6 to 9 inches from where the branch that is being removed connects with the parent branch or trunk.

Cut a notch on the bottom of the branch that cuts in a little less than halfway through. For the second cut, go farther out on the branch and completely cut off the rest of the branch. The first notch cut that you made helps prevent the weight of the branch peeling off the bark back down to the trunk.

Once you have removed the majority of the branch and it's accompanying weight, you can make the first cut, which you make on the branch just slightly out from where the branch connects to the trunk. Cut all the way through and remove the remaining part of the branch.

Taurus Horoscope

Life isn't meant to be easy. It's hard to take being on the top - or on the bottom. I guess I'm something of a fatalist. You have to have a sense of history, I think, to survive some of these things... Life is one crisis after another.
