When And Why Is Pruning Trees Necessary For Urban Forestry?
What is tree pruning all about?
India is known for its harsh summers, which is why it is extremely important to give proper care to your trees. Tree pruning and maintenance is the ‘heart and soul’ of tree health care. Pruning is necessary to ensure proper growth and maturation of a tree. Even after heavy pruning, a tree should maintain its natural shape and aesthetics
Why prune trees in human spaces?
Pruning is aesthetic. A naturally growing plant can outgrow the space it lives in, becoming visually unappealing. Careful pruning can make it fit more artistically into the scene. While natural plants may have broken branches or tangled stems, we usually prefer a neater look.
After-effects of tree pruning
- Dead and diseased branches are removed.
- Crossing and interfering roots, trunks and branches may be removed to increase airflow, weight distribution and light penetration.
- Branch tips are thinned and lightened to prevent storm damage.
- When done correctly, tree pruning improves the health, appearance and safety of your trees.
The experienced specialists at Treecotech are trained to meet your needs while improving the health, safety and appearance of your trees.

A Long-term Investment For Your Plants And Property.
Tree pruning is a practice involving the selective removal of certain parts of a plant, such as branches, buds, or roots. It is one of the most common procedures for tree maintenance. Deadwood removal, shaping, reducing risk from falling branches are some common reasons because of which a tree needs to be pruned. Tree Pruning services also helps in the well growth of a tree. It is both an art and also scientific research. Each cut has the potential to change the growth of the tree; no branch should be removed without a reason. Common reasons for pruning are to remove dead branches, to improve form, and to reduce risk. Trees may also be pruned to increase light and air penetration to the inside of the tree’s crown or to the landscape below. In most cases, mature trees are pruned as corrective or preventive measures, as routine thinning does not necessarily improve the health of a tree. Pruning is necessary to ensure proper growth and maturation of a tree. By removing dead or competing branches, a tree’s shape (habit) can be significantly improved. Sound pruning can encourage vigorous, healthy growth. Injured or diseased branches can and should be pruned accordingly. Pruning a tree can have many benefits. The first and most important is keeping the people around it safe. A dead branch can fall from a tree at any time, endangering nearby people, buildings, and power lines. To ensure your own personal safety, we recommend you let an expert do any pruning you’re not absolutely comfortable and confident in doing.

Identify If the Tree Needs Your Help
Colour of the leaves:
Leaves are supposed to be green in tone. If they are showing a shade which is not so green or kind of white, then it is a sign of a problem. You can also have a look at the colour of the leaves near your locality to understand more about the soil and the environment in which the your trees are growing.
Canopy:
If the trees are healthy, then their canopy will be full of needles and leaves. This is especially true for spruce trees. If the tree is sick, then they will have thin needles. The reason for this is possibly because of stress or an infection caused by fungus. Bad use of tree pruning techniques can also affect the leaves. Things are a bit different for deciduous trees which shed leaves during the autumn season. For such trees, the canopy is anyways thinner, which makes it harder for people to make out the problem. In short, if you see a thinning crown, then you will need an arborist in India.
Tips of the branches:
If the tips of the branches or the top of the trees are having a situation of a dieback, then the tree definitely needs help. This is also a sign of severe condition of the tree which might have been caused by attacks by insects or high levels of stress. Whether it is stress or insect-attack, the trees will need help in both cases. Even though the things to inspect are not too many, but still the whole process can get a bit complicated for people who do not have arboriculture training.
Dropping leaves:
If the tree is shedding all leaves before the autumn season, then it is also a serious issue. This symptom is mostly related to problems with the root system of the tree. It is also the kind of issue where urgent attention is required else the tree will be killed eventually.
These four things should be looked for on a regular basis. Always remember, earlier detection of the issue can save the tree and late action or no action will result in killing of the tree. Chances of cure are better if the detection is early. You can hire the services of a certified arborist in Mumbai who can help you with the inspection of the trees. They can even do tree risk assessment for you which will help you to plant and maintain healthy trees.
Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

- Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
