Tree prunuer and tree trimmer,MontrealPruning and trimming are services that are frequently requested. These two tasks are not the same. The distinction between them is subtle but real, even though they are both actions that consist in removing certain parts from a tree. The main difference between them is in the approach.
Difference between pruning and trimmingLet's start with pruning. This is a technique, let's say, more gentle, since whatever the gesture operated, it is done in the spirit of preserving the health and the good development of a plant. This is done by thinking about the impact on the tree and its future growth. Thus, pruning takes place over a longer period of time than pruning. It is therefore a more careful, more skilful and more cautious technique. Nothing is done without careful consideration.
Understand that the difference is not the purpose of the pruning. But the expectation behind the use of this technique is done while caring for the tree. Perhaps a few small changes will be made to human desires to achieve this. Certainly, it will always be about meeting expectations, but not without considering the consequences. |

Pruning, on the other hand, is a technique in which the goals of humans come first, regardless of the consequences for the tree. The gesture is more draconian and can present a risk for the health of the tree. However, it is hardly a matter of whim, that is not what it is about. The reason for setting aside the impacts is because of the importance of the goal, which gives reason to do so.
A good example, often given to illustrate this, is the major cuts made by Hydro-Quebec pruners, where the entire crowns or a huge batch of branches have been removed. Even the trees can be quite ugly. Why do they do it anyway? To prevent the branches from getting too close to the power lines! So safety justifies the radical nature of the operations. It is a question of priority.

Tree pruning
Pruning, what are the reasons to use this technique? It may be a situation where pruning would not meet the objective, but at least the tree will not be cut down. Also, it could be a municipality or Hydro-Quebec that calls upon a tree pruner to protect public infrastructures. You can ask for such a service yourself if branches threaten your roof, as big as they are and as regrettable as it is to cut them down! When a beautiful view remains hidden from view, a series of tree heads can be removed by decisive pruning to free it up! Sometimes all the low branches are removed for a hammock or swing, for example. Sidewalks, roads, a driveway, a walkway on your property... may require the pruning of adventurous branches that can injure someone if they grow in their wake.
The radicalness of the actions causes a significant shock to the trees. They experience stress that may cause them to die too soon. This is why the recommendations of a certified arborist are often necessary to make a wise decision. So, you can contact us, Emondage Montreal, at 514-900-1130.

Tree trimming
Pruning is a good way to avoid pruning or cutting in the future. Simply because the actions of this technique are thoughtful and more careful: they care about the future of your plant.
Before starting to apply the technique, the pruner will study the shape of your tree to identify the branches to be cut. His concern is to remove only what is necessary. Branches that are dead, diseased or too weak will be removed.
Pruning allows to give a more defined structure, to strengthen a tree, to avoid falls of weakened branches. Not only does this benefit the plant and its owner, but it also avoids more or less serious consequences, such as accidents or damage to property, buildings or infrastructure.
How does a restructuring or prevention of future consequences take place? Because the pruner shows a skill that, over time, will direct differently the way in which branches grow or to prevent them from growing near property or houses. The reasons for pruning can also be to let the sunlight through to illuminate a vegetable garden or a terrace... Removing branches from a tree facilitates its development; a fruit tree will even produce more. Pruning requires know-how and dexterity for satisfactory and aesthetic results.
Careful, well-maintained trees ensure longevity for them and a more soothing, aesthetically pleasing environment for you. However, it is essential to know what actions to take depending on the tree species involved. Therefore, reserve this work to experts such as us who are able to apply the recognized standards in the field, for the good of your beloved trees throughout their growth.
