There’s a lot of talk about the importance of tree pruning and weeding among garden groups and many have a different take on how often pruning trees, plants and shrubs should be done.
One thing’s for sure – tree pruning has many great benefits not just for the health of plants, but it’s also vital in order to achieve a beautiful overall physical presentation of a plant or tree.
Who doesn’t appreciate the beauty of a gorgeous rose bush flourishing in full effect? Those results don’t come from a set and forget mentality, it's attentive TLC, high-quality soil and plant food, plenty of water as well as a good set of hands to attend to pruning when required.
The benefits of weeding are far more obvious when it comes to gardening. Considered part of the upkeep and maintenance of a garden, the removal of unwanted plants that grow in between crops are called weeds and no garden will escape it!
If you don’t feel confident trimming and pruning specific trees, a certified arborist can always assist with tree trimming and tree maintenance services.
Let’s talk further about some of the reasons we should prune and weed.
Pruning Promotes Overall Plant Health & New Growth
Removing deadwood and excess branches means that the tree or plant can focus on new growth and maintaining existing healthy parts of its structure.
Consistent Weeding Throughout The Season Leads To Less Next Year
Staying on top of weeding as a constant job means that next season, there will be less for you to attend to.
Pruning Encourages More Fruit and Flowers
Too many excess branches and leaves could be taking the energy from the rest of the tree, resulting in not enough energy being distributed to the rest of the tree for lots of healthy fruits and flowers to grow.
Weeding Removes Other Unwanted Pests & Diseases
Weeds carry the potential of attracting other pests to your garden along with other diseases too.
Pruning Helps Protect People & Property During Heavy Storms & Winds
Keeping on top of trimming unsecured or loose branches is a safety measure also.
From time to time inspect how your larger trees look and if any branches look different, are getting too close to power lines or there are obvious breakages, it might be time to attend to some tree pruning, tree trimming or tree maintenance services.
Removing Weeds Means Your Chosen Plants Won’t Have To Compete For Food & Water
Since weeds by nature are in close proximity to other chosen plants, the weeds are naturally going to compete for nutrients and water, affecting the plants and trees you’ve chosen to plant and grow.
Regular Weeding Means You Can Stay Ahead Of Them Spreading
Rather than letting weeds take hold and spread a thousandfold if you maintain and keep weeding in check, you can avoid an uncontrollable weed infestation.
