Structural Tree Pruning Demonstration

What is Structural Pruning?
CFA’s Certified Arborists will demonstrate how to structurally prune a small to medium-sized tree using climbing techniques. “Structural Pruning” is the development of a central dominant leader & spacing of “scaffold” or main branches along the stem. Many trees have “poor structure” since they are open-grown and were never pruned. Although the tree’s crown is large & healthy from plenty of sunlight, structural defects can be abundant, hazardous, and detrimental to the tree. The sooner you structurally prune your tree, the less likely it will pose a future hazard or face “failure” of tree parts later in life.
