Taking care of the trees on your property is one of your responsibilities as a homeowner or commercial building owner.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Pruning is an old term<\/strong> no longer really used in arboriculture. It has now been replaced by pruning.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The only time we can use the term correctly is when we’re talking about cutting the gourmands<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Gourmands are secondary branches that develop on the main branches of a tree.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

It’s best to cut them back, as they unnecessarily deplete the tree<\/strong> by redirecting sap to these new branches.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In the case of
\n fruit trees<\/a>
\n<\/span>the gourmands are not productive<\/strong> and you won’t get any new fruit from these branches. That’s why they need to be pruned.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Following pruning, your tree will gain in vigor, as its energy and sap will no longer be used to grow gourmands.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The pruner is the person who removes the suckers from a tree, but like the term pruning, it’s no longer used today. The correct term is ” pruner”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So if you use the term “pruning”, the only operation carried out on the tree must be the removal of the suckers.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, we use the term “pruning”.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Pruning is therefore the exact term used by professionals. The
\n International Society of Arboriculture of Quebec<\/a>
\n<\/span> (SIAQ) defines pruning as “the technique of trimming, reducing or removing branches, twigs, shoots, roots, flowers or fruit from a plant”.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

There are many reasons to carry out pruning work, and there are different types of pruning.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

When a tree, or some of its branches, become a danger to the safety of others, this is called safety pruning<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Don’t just rely on the price you’ve been offered. Chances are, if you contact different contractors, you’ll get quite different prices.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    Should I choose the most expensive bidder? Or go for the one that offers you the best price?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    Listen carefully to each person you talk to.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    Beautiful, good, inexpensive and paid cash? Are you sure this contractor has insurance in case he damages anything on your property? Does he really have the skills to carry out the work?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    The price is exorbitant, as you are told that most of your tree will have to be pruned to make it safe again? Beware!<\/strong> Professional pruners know that drastically cutting down a tree can damage its health.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    A competent tree trimmer will take the time to understand your needs, while taking care of the health and preservation of your tree. He’ll take the time to explain the steps needed to ensure your tree’s good health, while taking care of the safety of the surrounding environment.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    It’s best to choose a contractor who’s a member of the SIAQ, so you can be sure he has the skills you need for the pruning job you’ve requested.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    You can then compare the prices of the 3 bidders in your area, as well as the opinions of former customers. You’ll also have the chance to talk to each of the entrepreneurs to understand their company values.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    No stress, no pressure. You take the time to do your due diligence, and if you like a contractor, you hire him.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    This ensures that you hire a professional with the right values in the right place.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
