Ask Chris, North Shore Arborist and Horticulturist.
CLIENT QUESTION
“Can you tell me the correct method for pruning?”
CHRIS’ ANSWER
Tree and branch pruning needs to be done with a good understanding of how the tree will respond to each cut.
Improper pruning can cause damage to the tree which can result in shortening the tree’s life. It can also affect the way branches grow back.
If done incorrectly, branches can regrow with weak points which then become dangerous. This can cost you additional time, further money and can put people and property at risk.
A professional arborist understands and complies with the Australian Standard AS 4373 (Pruning of Amenity Tree).
