There are many ways to prune a tree, to improve both its health and its shape. There are 4 popular tree pruning methods in general, crown thinning, crown raising, crown reduction & crown cleaning. You may notice that each pruning method involves the crown of the tree. That's because the crown of the tree is essential for producing leaves for photosynthesis. Without a strong and healthy crown, the rest of the tree will weaken over time.
