Drive through almost any newer neighborhood in Meridian, Eagle, Nampa, or Caldwell and you will see front yards full of young maples, lindens, and honeylocusts planted a few years ago. Those trees look fine right now, but the way they are shaped in their first ten years decides how strong they will be at thirty.
Structural pruning is how ArborSafe guides that growth. Our ISA Certified Arborists select a single strong central leader, remove competing stems while they are still small, space out the main scaffold branches, and raise the lower canopy gradually so it clears sidewalks and driveways. Each cut is small, which means the tree seals it quickly and puts its energy into healthy growth.
A little attention now prevents the large corrective cuts that mature trees often need later, and it gives a young tree the best chance to handle Treasure Valley wind and heavy spring snow. Most young trees only need a visit every few years, and the leaf-off months ahead are an ideal time for it.
How old are the trees in your front yard, and has anyone looked at how they are shaping up since they were planted? #TreasureValley #TreePruning
