How does pruning keep trees healthy?
Removing broken tree branches
Pruning helps maintain the health of your trees and shrubs. When tree branches break and limbs die, your plants weaken and are susceptible to insects and disease. Just one branch rubbing against another can leave the plant vulnerable once the protective bark is rubbed away. Each time you go into the garden, take your pruning snips along and remove branches that are dead, broken, or rubbing against another.
