Proper Tree Care

Proper tree care is a mystery to some. Plant a tree and nature will take care of the rest, right? Not necessarily. The trees in our yards, neighborhoods, and cities are a valuable asset, and they require our help to keep them healthy. Proper tree care is important because trees are an investment in the value of your home and the livability of your neighborhood. Trees in our cities contribute to the quality of our lives by cleaning our air, cooling and shading our homes, and increasing property values and the attractiveness of a community. Sounds like trees work pretty hard, doesn’t it? There is a “right way” and a “wrong way” to care for trees. If your trees had the opportunity, would they move to your neighbor’s yard? If so, here are some tips you need to know about how to keep your trees healthy and working for you.

Not only does topping remove leaves that supply nutrients to a tree, it actually creates a more dangerous tree! Branches that “sprout” after topping are weakly attached and are more likely to break in a storm event. Topping also makes your tree prone to insect and disease damage because improper cuts invite decay. Topping is expensive because it will not keep your tree small unless repeated every year, and it will shorten the life span of your tree. By contrast, the positive effects of proper pruning will make your tree healthier and extend its life.

FIRE WISE FACT: In Oregon’s wildfire-prone areas, homeowners need to take steps to minimize the fire hazard around their homes. Fire-resistant plants, carefully placed and maintained, can help protect your home and property.

Conifers can generally be pruned any time, using caution during their flush of growth in early summer.

Dead and dying branches can be pruned anytime.

Why topping hurts trees

Topping, sometimes called heading or tipping, is the indiscriminate removal of a majority of a tree’s branches which violates the accepted methods of proper pruning. Although many people think that topping will help their trees, it is actually one of the worst things you can do to your tree!
