To Stay Healthy, Your Trees Should Be Trimmed Regularly

Nashua, NH Homeowner Discovers: Trees Should Be Trimmed Regularly

A homeowner in Nashua recently asked us if it is necessary to trim dead branches on his trees, even if the tree itself is doing perfectly healthy. He had the common misconception that branches should only be trimmed when the tree is dead. In fact, just like people getting regular haircuts, trees need regular trimming to keep them healthy and looking good.

Removing the dead branches from a tree or those that are infested with a growth, can make a big difference in the overall health of the tree. The tree’s resources can now be used to grow new leaves and branches, as opposed to combatting a whole host of diseases and pests caused by the dead branches.

Tree Trimming Leaves Trees Healthy and Looking Great

Late fall is a great time for trimming your tress. The tree is dormant during these months, making the tree less susceptible to disease while it is healing. After trimming this homeowner’s trees not only do they have a healthier future, but they are also looking great. Uniform, similarly-sized trees that are neatly trimmed will greatly improve the aesthetics of your overall property. Rotten, unhealthy branches not only give the impression of a “sick” tree, but they are also an eyesore.

As an added bonus, with the winter months approaching any safety hazard that these dead or hanging branches posed have now been eliminated. The homeowner couldn’t be happier with the way his landscaping looks now and we foresee a long, healthy life for his trees.
