Deadwood Pruning & Crown Cleaning – Why It Matters
As trees mature, it’s natural for branches to die, decay, or become structurally unsound. Deadwood pruning and crown cleaning are essential tree care practices that improve both the health and appearance of your trees—while keeping your property safe.
What is Deadwood Pruning? Deadwood pruning involves removing non-living, brittle branches that could fall during strong winds or storms. These limbs are not only unsightly but also pose a serious safety risk to people, property, and power lines. Pruning this material helps trees direct energy to healthier growth and reduces unnecessary weight.
Crown Cleaning for Tree Health Crown cleaning is the process of selectively removing dead, dying, diseased, or weakly attached branches from the canopy. This opens up the tree’s crown for better air circulation and sunlight penetration, which in turn reduces the risk of fungal disease and supports new growth.
Why It’s Important Now Late spring and early summer are ideal times for crown cleaning. With leaves fully emerged, arborists can clearly see which limbs are struggling or failing. Regular maintenance also helps identify pest or disease problems early.
