Importance of tree trimming and its right procedure

Our northern suburbs are home to some of the largest and most beautiful trees. Trees are an integral part of our lives. Trees have been recycling and purifying the air; furthermore, trees have been providing shade to the local inhabitants for decades. They are the commonest destinations for play dates. Parents do not have to travel far with their children for swings as they have hung swings over some trees. Moreover, trees add to the scenic beauty of the area.

Although trees add to the scenic beauty of the area. However, they require maintenance in the form of trimming. Tree trimming in Northernsuburbs is important because if trees are left to their own devices, they tend to grow in all directions. Their branches may interfere with power lines, resulting in power outages or voltage fluctuations that may result in disastrous consequences for electrical appliances. Trees can also interfere with phone lines, resulting in disturbance or disconnection.

Deciding how to trim your tree is important because how a tree is trimmed ultimately affect what it will look like for a long time as well as how it grows. For example, if you want your tree to be tall, you must  discourage auxiliary growth of the branches; then you will have to carry on trimming its branches in that area and below the area. If you want to encourage the growth of auxiliary branches, then you can chop off the apex (the part of the tree where auxins accumulate) after it achieves your required height. Be very careful when doing this because once you trim off the apex your tree will only sprout branches, there will be no or very slow apical growth. If you are unsure about how to trim your tree, we recommend seeking professional guidance.

Tree trimming is often done professionally for aesthetic and recreational purposes as well. While visiting a flower festival or botanical garden or park, you may have come across tree branches shaped uniformly or like an animal  or some everyday object or geometric shape. Some countries hold tree trimming competitions seasonally.
