Trees and shrubs should be examined annually and your Crabapple LandscapExperts Rep can help with this. If pruning has been overlooked for several years, or if previous maintenance companies have sheared the plants into “green meatball shapes” over the life of the community, Crabapple can remedy the problem. Winter is the best time to take care of remedial pruning. During this time of year, Crabapple can cut back severely, in some cases 50%) without worry to reduce the size of overgrown plants.
8 Top Reasons to Prune
Crabapple LandscapEXPERTS know that pruning is necessary to
maintaining a healthy, vigorous tree or shrub.
1. Maintain or reduce plants to manageable size—pruning can
prevent a plant from overgrowing its spot in the landscape and intruding on
sidewalks or obstructing buildings or windows.
2. Eliminate dead, diseased or broken branches- maintain shape,
vigor and health of handsome mature greenery
3. Reveal the true shape of shrubs- restore the graceful natural beauty of shrubs that have been sheared into squares or cubes in
the past or "inverted" hedge pruning that shades out bottom branches
4. Remove undesirable growth- removal of weak, overcrowded
growth and crossing or rubbing branches to open up the center of the shrub and improve
air circulation inside the plant.
5. Rejuvenate and restore old plants to vigorous
growth – youthful, natural growth habit
6. Prevent damage to life and property- hazards to property, painted facades and
overhead wires can be eliminated by proper pruning
7. Improve security - overgrown shrubs can conceal unauthorized break-ins at vulnerable points like windows

8. Stimulate flowering and fruiting- new wood is younger and

Pruning also prevents further infection if it was on its way to any form of it, just like raising a child there are ways you have to cut it down to size and shape it.
