Wow, I never knew that cutting a branch that is over 10 centimeters could hinder the growth of the tree. I am preparing for spring by trimming my trees this weekend. I appreciate the tips on lopping and trimming trees. 4/23/2018 07:53:01 pm
It's interesting that the best time to trim a tree is during the summer and spring season when little growth is taking place. My mom wants to trim her trees because they're beginning to grow over the sidewalk and there are some low-hanging branches that she wants to get rid of. I think it would probably be best if she had a professional come over and take care of it so that it looks as nice as possible. 3/20/2019 06:03:18 pm
I never took into account the fact that there is a certain length that the branches should be trimmed since it can affect the growth of the tree. I guess I will just hire professionals to handle this since I am not knowledgeable about this, and I don't want the tree in our backyard to not bear fruits anymore. This is because it has been with us even before I was born since this property was from my grandparents, so I value it a lot. 10/18/2019 12:24:49 pm
Thank you for your tip to trim the trees during the dormant season. My wife noticed that the trees in our front yard have some dead branches and we want to increase our curb appeal, so we need to get those branches trimmed. I'll be sure to talk to a tree service company about the best time to do so. 10/24/2019 12:52:54 pm
I didn't know ten centimeters is the cut off for pruning. There is an apple tree in my backyard that's not giving great apples because there are too many branches crisscrossing. I'll have to look into professional tree pruning. 10/31/2019 02:53:02 pm
I'm grateful for your advice on how to properly trim trees. There is a tree in my yard that is getting overgrown. It would probably be best to let a professional trim it for me.

I'm glad you mentioned that it is important to avoid cutting branches too short when pruning a tree because that can affect its growth.

Thank you for telling me that we should start trimming trees during the summer and spring season when there is little growth.
