Why do gardeners often prune trees?

1. Maintain or improve the health and structure of trees, and maintain the healthy growth of trees in the following ways:

(1)

Remove dead branches or insect-infested branches Branches to reduce the breeding ground for pest viruses, thereby preventing pest viruses from invading.

(2)

Pruning off thin branches and twigs with poor shape growing from the base of the tree can concentrate nutrients to support other healthy branches and leaves, thus avoiding wastage of storage of nutrients.

(3)

Pruning off overly dense branches and leaves can allow more sunlight and air to penetrate from the sides and top of the tree.

(4)

Prune overly dense branches to reduce the weight of the tree and reduce the chance of the tree being broken by strong winds. This is especially important if the tree's roots have been unstable due to transplants or construction work in the adjacent area.

2. Reduce danger and inconvenience to the public:

(1)

Once branches/remnants that may fall off and wither are found, They should be removed immediately to prevent these dead, overhanging and fallen branches/remnants from causing injury to pedestrians or damage to property.

(2)

Regular pruning of trees can prevent branches from becoming entangled with cables.

(3)

Some lower branches may block the view of motorists or even block the driving lane. Therefore, these branches must be removed to ensure smooth and safe roads.

(4)

To maintain better lighting conditions.

3. Improve the appearance of trees: maintain the beautiful shape and symmetrical structure of trees
