HELPFUL INFORMATION FOR OWNERS CANOPY TREE PRUNING There are many reasons to prune a tree. Below are some of the most common. 1. Clearance. Elevating the lower limbs on a tree provides safe clearance to pedestrians over walkways. Trees located by driveways and right of ways also should be elevated appropriately for traffic and signage visibility. 2. Plant health. Pruning can be used to remove or control pests and disease on parts of the trees. This may increase the opportunity to avoid unnecessary use of pesticides and prevent the problem from spreading to healthy parts of the tree. This is a good alternative when the pest/disease infestation is minor and limited to a few branches. 3. Protect structures. Pruning branches away from buildings helps to reduce pest access, reduces moisture and avoids friction of limbs against walls and windows.
