Pruning Landscape Trees The current emphasis on landscape beautification has heightened the interest in cultural treatments for plants on many areas. Pruning is and important practice-not only for shaping and enhancing plants used in parks and gardens, but also for forming native vegetation growing along highways and on wildland recreation areas. As pressures to manage the landscape increase, so do the demands for information on proper vegetation management. Research is being conducted to improve techniques. However, many problems stem from a lack of familiarity with existing practices and their application to new situations. This leaflet on pruning is primarily not the product of new research, but is a compendium of existing procedures and practices. It should be used as a guide to capitalize on the natural characteristics of each tree species to add interest, beauty, and utility to the landscape. Selection of the right tree for the right place is essential. Correct pruning will help to produce structural strength and will accentuate a tree's natural features. |
