Topic: Pruning Trees to Reduce Likelihood of Failure
Description: Tree pruning is one of the most common practices employed by tree care professionals. Proper pruning can improve tree structure, remove or mitigate defects, and help to enhance tree health and aesthetics. It is important to keep in mind, however, that each pruning cut is an injury that the tree must respond to, and if done improperly can be counterproductive. This presentation will help the audience better understand how proper tree pruning can achieve targeted goals of reducing the likelihood of trees being damaged in storms.
