Benefits of Tree Pruning
- Improved Tree Health: Pruning removes dead, diseased, or damaged branches, allowing the tree to allocate resources more efficiently and promoting new growth.
- Enhanced Safety: Pruning eliminates hazardous branches that pose risks of falling or causing property damage during storms or high winds.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Pruning enhances the natural beauty of trees by shaping them to complement your landscape and improve curb appeal.
- Increased Sunlight and Airflow: Thinning out dense canopies allows more sunlight and airflow to penetrate the tree, promoting photosynthesis and reducing the risk of fungal diseases.
- Structural Stability: Pruning helps maintain the structural integrity of trees by removing weak or crossing branches that can lead to structural failure or breakage.

Frequently Asked Questions.
For most varieties of trees found in Ottawa, the best time to trim them is in the late winter or early spring. Trimming or pruning the tree is ideally done before leaves have bloomed. That being said, different trees sometimes require different trimming and pruning schedules. Some trees like Oak or Elm can be pruned in the late fall, while other trees such as apple, crab-apple, cherry, and plum trees are trimmed in spring. In order to get the best out of your tree, make sure you get it trimmed by the certified arborists at Tree King.
While tree trimming and tree pruning both involve the removal of branches from a tree, there is a difference between the two practices.
Tree trimming is a mostly aesthetic practice, where the arborist seeks to cut back overgrown branches, giving your tree an attractive shape which also promotes growth. Tree trimming is also done to prevent trees from coming into contact with power lines or other hazards.
Tree pruning on the other hand is a process whereby dead, loose, or infected branches and stems are removed from the trees. This ensures that the plant does not lose resources to these damaged parts, allowing them to grow and be productive.
If your trees are in need of trimming or pruning, contact Tree King today. Our arborists will expertly trim or prune your trees, ensuring proper growth.
Tree topping is a process where the larger branches from the tree top are removed, leaving behind the stubs and lateral branches of the tree. Tree King does not top trees, as it is harmful to their wellbeing. Tree topping causes wounds that are difficult for trees to heal, and also exposes parts of the tree to heat and sunlight which it is not prepared for, causing further damage. If you have a tree that is too tall and you need to reduce its height, we recommend getting crown reduction instead of topping.
Tree crown reduction is a way to reduce the overall size of a tree, without causing significant damage to it like tree topping does. Crown reduction consists of removing some of the branch tips and pruning the tree back to a growth point lower down on the branch. While this process is typically done to reduce the overall size of the tree, it can also be done to remove dead, diseased, or damaged branches from the tree. Tree crown reduction is better than tree topping because it causes far less damage to the plant, allowing it to grow better. If you have a tree that is too large, we recommend getting a crown reduction.
