Remove Dead Limbs
One of the most important aspects of summer pruning is in the removal of dead, damaged, or diseased tree limbs. While they might not seem like much, these damages limbs have the potential to cause a great deal of further damage and stress to your property's trees the longer they are allowed to linger. Taking the time to have these limbs pruned during the summer months enhances your trees' potential for growth and helps to minimize the chances that a weakened or damaged branch is going to come crashing down on your roof this summer when a strong wind comes through the area.
Help Your Fruit Trees Grow Strong
Fruit trees, in particular, can benefit from summer pruning as it allows them to receive more sunlight in the areas they need to encourage stronger development, especially in younger trees. In addition to this, proper pruning can encourage your more mature fruit trees to product fruit of greater size and quality. Pruning during the summer is particularly helpful in supporting robust and durable branch development, as the increased light and air circulation encourages the overall health of the tree. It is important to make sure any pruning you are having done is done so correctly, however, which is why we always recommend having a professional come out and take care of the work itself.
Pest Control
Another excellent benefit of summer pruning involves keeping pest populations under control. Removing branches and fruit that mites or aphid damage can help you protect the overall health of the tree and keep these infestations from spreading and causing more damage. You want to be sure that any fruits or branches that are removed during this process are properly disposed of, however, as keeping them around can lead to the spread of these pest populations.
