Big trees to move? No problem. Give us a call!

Part 2: sometimes we need to prune a branch off a tree that is larger than ideal. Or perhaps you lost a limb during a storm. The first picture shows an example of a large wound to this tree, which will begin to rot if left alone. The rotting area will spread as the tree grows making it weak and unstable.

This is where the ‘wounding’ technique will come in once again to support the regeneration of cells. Over time this area of the tree will heal over.
