Pine tree Trimming

Pine trees are coniferous evergreens that thrive well in Mediterranean climatic conditions. Their evergreen state and corn shape require a little trimming. Occasionally, one might require pruning dead or infected branches to stop infections from spreading. Light trims once per year should be enough to remove the dead and infected branches. It is also important to note that the best time of the year to prune is during the late winter and early spring season. This will enable them to recover from the pruning wounds during the warm spring season. Before embarking on the trimming process, remember, do not cut more than one-third of a new growth to avoid stressing the tree.

How to Trim a Pine Tree
  • Cut halfway from the underside, broken, dead or infected branches that you wish to discard. This should be one foot from the pine’s trunk
  • Cut into the topside, halfway an inch beyond the first cut. This will make the branch break and fall on it’s on due to weight. Avoid the temptation of a flush cut since it takes more time for the healing process.
  • Make a 45 to 60 degrees final cut, outside the swollen branch collar which is the branch’s point of origin. This will allow water to run off the pine.
  • Use your fingers to pinch off ends of the candles to encourage denser new growth. Pruning shears should not be used for this because they will cut and brown the tips.
  • Remember to disinfect pruning tools after cutting diseased branches.

Warning
​

Never cut the branches of a pine to the point of no green. This will make it a dead zone that will never regenerate. An exception can only be made if you plan to discard the whole branch. Finally, remember to cut into the green foliage to keep the tree looking healthy.

Pine trees are pretty tall. You cannot do tree trimming without help from arborists themselves. By the way, great information, this helps a lot.

I think your system of tree pruning is efficient and healthy on the limbs. The most emphasized part is being sustainable on the tree and working the 4 person plan of having pruners, chippers, clippers, trimmers.
