The Benefits of Pruning Your Wichita Trees

Pruning is a vital tree service, providing numerous benefits to your trees. It isn’t just about aesthetics; pruning can make your tree healthier and increase its vigor. Some of the benefits of pruning include:

  • More airflow and light penetration to lower tree sections, improving fruit production and lowering the risk of mold or fungus.

  • Better aerodynamics to lower the risk of failure during a storm.

  • Increased life expectancy compared to trees that are never pruned.

  • Reduces the risk of branches breaking during a storm.

When to Prune Your Trees in Wichita

We can prune your trees any time of year (as long as the weather cooperates). However, different seasons provide various opportunities for your trees. Typical pruning in each season aims to do the following:

  • Spring: Focus your pruning on ornamentals that flower in the spring. Pruning as they finish blooming will encourage better flowering next year. 

  • Summer: When a tree is fully leafed out, you can get a better idea of how to shape the tree through pruning. 

  • Fall: We recommend holding off on major pruning projects in the fall, but it’s never the wrong time to have a professional remove dead or diseased branches. 

  • Winter: Winter is an excellent time for substantial pruning of your tree, thanks to the tree’s dormancy and the limited risk of spreading diseases.

The Danger of DIY Pruning

It’s all too common to hear about a homeowner injuring themselves trying to save money pruning their trees. While you may be able to prune a small, newly planted tree effectively if you have the proper training, it is best to leave pruning to the professionals. Some of the risks of pruning trees yourself include:

  • Falling Off a Ladder: When a tree care company prunes trees, they may use a tripod ladder or bucket truck to reach higher branches. These ladders provide better stability for pruning than the ladders you have at home. 

  • Harming the Tree: Improper cuts harm your tree rather than provide benefits. If you don’t know how to prune, you risk causing substantial injuries and stressing a tree. 

  • Injuries from Falling Branches: A branch may not look heavy from the ground, but when it falls, it can cause severe injury or death to anyone underneath.
