Tree Pruning in Virginia Beach
Pruning effectively requires the expertise of hundreds of varieties of trees, plants, and shrubs and should be left to an arborist like the ones here at Virginia Beach Tree Service Pros. Every living plant needs adequate air and sunlight to thrive. Sometimes, due to overcrowding or poor circulation, limbs can’t produce enough food to nourish themselves, so in turn, they will end up dying and breaking off. The result of these breaks forms something called “callus tissue.” This tissue develops around the wound and will eventually cover the dead wood. So, while the decomposition has stopped, the branches are only loosely attached and susceptible to breaking in the wind and rain. This results in a clutter, unattractive appearance of an otherwise healthy plant. Pruning those branches for the plant can speed up the natural shedding process to encourage vigorous growth elsewhere.
Fruit trees in particular benefit from precise pruning. A well-pruned fruit tree produces a higher yield and can even increase the size of the fruit. We can also trim branches too young to support the weight of fruit so the tree can pour more energy into other areas. The best time to prune this type of tree is late winter when the center trunk is exposed to the most sunshine. If you have a bush that becomes diseased or infected with insects, arborists can determine which and how many branches should be thinned without risking damage to the entire plant. Thinning will reduce branch rubbing, increase airflow and reduce the likelihood of internal and unsightly decay. |

Tree Pruning Virginia Beach
Some clients prefer the look of a formal, English-style garden in their landscape. Shaping boxwood or other shrubs into pleasing sphere or shapes require regular pruning and training. Our expert arborists can recommend the species best suited to this style and work with you over time to grow the look you desire. If you desire a privacy screen comprised of trees or shrubs (often referred to as a “living wall”), we can assist you in determining which plant would work best and how to place them to account for future spread.
If you have a newly planted tree, pruning can invigorate the root system by reducing the number of branches needing nourishment up top, therefore, allowing the plant to focus on building a strong root system that will support your tree for years to come. Young trees are also the easiest to train into the shape you envision. In the end, pruning improves the aesthetic appeal of your property, increases visibility and reduces nuisance branches. Plants are an expensive investment, so do not risk their health by hiring an inexperienced person to come and hack away randomly. Once a branch is cut, the damaged cannot be reversed and may lead to plant death. Trust our team to do what's needed. Contact Virginia Beach Tree Service Pros to learn more.
