Tree Pruning for Topped Trees<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Many homeowners are relieved to learn that with a little time,\npatience, and pruning, they can restore a tree that has been adversely affected\nby topping. When it comes to repairing a topped tree with tree pruning, it is not\nthe pruning itself that should be your focus. Instead, it should be the timing;\nnot just the time of year, but also, the intervals to which you have your tree\npruned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Timing is Key<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

First, you want to make sure you do not begin your corrective\npruning right after your tree has been topped. This can drastically decrease\nits chances of survival. Instead, wait until you see sprouts and limbs growing\nfrom the topped portions of the tree. This indicates that the tree is attempting\nto replenish its energy reserves, which in turn implies that it can withstand\nadditional modification. Such sprouting will take at least one to two years, so\nyou must be patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once a couple of years has passed and your topped tree is growing\nplenty of limbs and sprouts, you want to ensure it is the right time of year to\nprune a tree. The recommended seasons for tree pruning are the seasons in which\ntrees are dormant, namely late winter and fall. Because every tree has\ndifferent genetic codes and variations, they all will respond differently to corrective\npruning after topping, and will grow at different rates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there, your trees should be pruned once every year or\ntwo to promote exponential growth in strength and get your trees back to a reliable\ncondition. See our blog, \u201cFrequently\nAsked Questions About Tree Pruning<\/a>\u201d to learn more about pruning trees.
