The frequency of tree care depends on the size, location, species, and many other factors. In general trees should have dead or broken branches cleared every 3-5 years. Fertilizer and disease control can be administered as needed. Proper tree care performed early in the lifespan of a tree will prevent future problems and limit the amount of care needed later in life.
Pruning involves removing unwanted or unneeded branches from trees. Branches that are dead, damaged, or diseased may be removed for the health of the tree. Trees may also be thinned out to provide more light to the ground below. Pruning for aesthetic purposes involves removing unsightly or nuisance branches, or reshaping a tree that has grown asymmetrically. All these purposes are combined in a proper pruning service. Certified arborists are the best people to use to determine the best way to prune trees.

Topping, a.k.a. “heading”, “tipping”, and “rounding-over”, involves systematically removing the majority of the crown of a tree. Many people top trees to reduce the size, or because they believe the trees to be hazardous. In reality, topping is one of the worst practices in tree care. Topping a tree causes outgrowth that is weak and insubstantial. This may make the tree extremely hazardous because the new growth is not strong enough to withstand weather. Also, topping removes much needed leaves from which the tree gets its food. Topping has been known to kill trees entirely.
