Tree care tips by Chris Allchin,
Northern Beaches + North Shore Arborist.
If there are dead, diseased or damaged branches, tree pruning should be done as soon as possible. These branches may fall off anytime and cause damage to people, animals and property.
If the goal is to improve or shape the tree better, it’s your choice when to do the trimming or pruning. Overgrown trees and branches should be trimmed for better aesthetics and visibility (e.g. more natural light hitting your house or you want a wider view of the outside).
In these cases, the trimming or pruning should both go through the right processes including processing relevant paperwork required by the Council.
When should you have your trees pruned or trimmed?
If the tree or branches are hazardous, pruning the tree should be done as soon as possible no matter the season. Aside from removing the hazards, it’s also about limiting further damage to the trees and their branches. For example, an infestation might start from one branch and spread to the surrounding branches. Falling branches might also cause damage to the branches below.
Tree trimming and pruning are also done to encourage new growth and prolong the life of the tree. Trimming and pruning can improve air circulation and somehow give trees, leaves and branches the fresh air they need for survival and growth. Also, this is about making some corrective actions in their growth (i.e. trying to achieve a healthier shape and formation).
Most importantly, it’s about safety because diseased, damaged or dead branches might fall off anytime.
