When choosing a tree to plant in your garden, it’s important that you consider what type of maintenance the tree species requires. The same goes for the existing trees in your garden. Here at Hort Culture, we are a team of professional arborists and we have years of experience when it comes to tree pruning in North Shore. In this article, we’ll highlight the trees that are known for requiring the most pruning.
Willow Trees
Willow trees are popular because of the privacy that they can offer you, as well as their unique appearance. Did you know that willow trees can grow up to 6 feet per year? These fast-growing yet beautiful trees can very quickly take over your property if you don’t prune them regularly.
Eucalyptus Trees
Eucalyptus trees are known for being some of the fastest-growing trees in the world. As they are native to Australia, they should thrive even in challenging weather conditions, but they may require pruning every so often to keep them the right size for your garden.
Maple Trees
Maple trees come in a wide variety of species and they are best known for their colourful leaves, which require acidic or neutral soil to thrive. Maintain the beautiful shape of your maple tree through regular pruning services.
Why Do Trees Need to Be Pruned?
Many people don’t comprehend the necessity of tree pruning because trees aren’t trimmed or pruned ‘in the wild’. However, it is very important to prune the trees in your garden so that they do not become too unruly and start interfering with telephone wires and other overhead structures. Not only that, but tree pruning helps with keeping your trees neat and tidy and gets rid of any dead or dying branches.
Can I Prune My Own Trees?
While tree pruning may seem like a relatively straightforward task, if you do not have experience, it is best that you call in a professional to assist with your tree-pruning needs. If you do not have the right tools, equipment and experience, you could be putting yourself in harm’s way.
