Cutting and pruning of trees of beauty and life

Pruning trees and shrubs is not only an aesthetic maintenance, but also a guarantee of vitality and health. Pruning at the right time and correctly helps plants grow better, extends their lifespan, and makes the entire garden more beautiful and tidy.

When to cut?

• Late winter and early spring are the most suitable times. The tree is still dormant, sap flow has not started, and cut surfaces heal quickly.

• Light maintenance pruning can be done in the summer - remove water shoots or branches that create excessive shade.

• It is not recommended to prune in autumn and early winter , as the cut surfaces may not heal before the arrival of frost, which can increase the risk of fungal diseases.

• Diseased and broken branches should be removed immediately, regardless of the season.

How to cut?

• The tools must be sharp and clean - this way the cut will be smooth and heal faster.

• Start by removing dead and diseased branches. This will improve air circulation and reduce the risk of disease spreading.

• Shape the crown. Cut out branches that cross and grow inward to allow more light into the tree.

• Keep strong and properly oriented branches. Excessive pruning can strain the tree and reduce yield in fruit trees.
