Tree Pruning San Antonio

Tree Pruning is essential to the health and longevity of a tree.  Proper tree pruning can help a tree develop a strong structure and a desirable form. 
If you are pruning a new tree be careful to not over-prune.  Leave the most functional limbs on the tree and remove only the branches that will negatively affect the height and shape of the mature tree.

When pruning a more mature tree, 2-3 years old and up, you can begin to remove the structurally weak or distressed looking and any dead branches or limbs.

When you do the cut, make sure you cut at a "V" off the "keeper" branch.  You want to cut almost all the way to the "keeper" branch, but not quite, leaving a little nub from the branch you cut off.  This will help the tree repair itself and remain healthy.  It needs it's bark to feed itself and do the necessary repairs.
This is also a good rule of thumb when trimming off length from a branch. 
Cut where there is a new branch shooting up from the limb at the length that is desired. This will allow the tree to continue growing where it already is and will continue to grow up faster than out.  

If you have a young tree that is starting to "fork" or produce two trunks it is best to remove one of the trunks to establish one dominate trunk.  Otherwise two trunks lead to pruning issues and possibly unhealthy or weak trees.
Keep in mind the height and head clearance that will be necessary for your future tree to work with your yard and landscaping. 

After the tree is several years old you can work towards attaining optimal branch spacing.  It is ideal to have a space of 12 to 18 inches in between branches.
