Even a Tree Needs Love
Part 4

Though you trim a tree more often than you prune one, there are times when pruning is needed. As was mentioned above, pruning is an intensified trimming to train the tree or shrub to grow in a certain way.

Pruning does have it's benefits -- it promotes new growth, a good crop of flowers or fruit, helps to maintain air flow, and allows light into the canopy, which all results in a well-shaped, healthy plant.

Like with most things, though, it's all in moderation. Too much severe pruning, or the topping of trees (a process known as 'pollarding'), can do more harm than good. Try not to get too fanatical with the pruning shears.

One common form of pruning is called limbing up. This pruning process helps to reveal the architecture of the tree or large shrub. To limb up a plant, you selectively remove the lower branches and any suckers coming from the bottom of the plant.

This is a common practice for small trees such as crapemyrtle, waxleaf ligustrum, and some hollies. Take care not to limb up more than one half the height of the tree. Limbing up a tree not only gives it a more airy look, it increases the amount of light reaching the ground and creates more headroom under the tree canopy, which opens up that space to a number of possibilities.

You can grow grass or other groundcover underneath, and even add in a seating area. That area under your tree never looked more inviting!

A last way to care for your established trees isn't required all the time, but when it is, it can be very crucial to your tree's health. Caring for your trees when they are close to any sort of construction going on plays a major role in their continued survival.

Much like an iceberg, most of your tree is concealed from view by the soil line, underneath which is where the root system resides. The root system can reach far and wide, though you rarely notice it. Only when a root from a tree twenty feet away begins to buckle your sidewalk do you realize how far it spreads.

To protect your tree's root zone, first you have to know where it is. To do this, first find out the caliper* or D.B.H.** of the tree. For every one inch of caliper or D.B.H., multiply that number by 20. The resulting number is the root zone radius from the trunk, in inches.
