We show you what you can do yourself in tree care and what steps it pays to hire a professional. As a hobby gardener, one quickly underestimates the growing power of a tree: at the latest when your tree obstructs the sunlight from the path to your living space or the terrace, the branches brushed into the power grid or on the facade, it is time for pruning. But it's not just trees that are too big that need regular trim care at regular intervals; even smaller species such as fruit trees benefit from a professional pruning and can thereby increase the yield.

MAINTAIN TREES PROFESSIONALLY

Even trees need care, although they are not as demanding as perennial flower beds, there are some important things to keep in mind. Small, freshly planted trees should be sufficiently watered in the beginning and ensure the supply of nutrients. Later, this is no longer necessary due to the generous root space. What you should absolutely keep an eye on is that your trees are regularly pruned.

This has several advantages: On the one hand, you can thus influence the growth direction and shape of the tree and thus also on the overall picture of your garden. On the other hand, a professional pruning helps to prevent pests and diseases such as fungi. What you should not forget: As a tree owner, you are liable for safety, Especially in storms can cause too large and not properly checked trees dangerous damage.

Of course, as a hobby gardener, you can even lend a hand and cut off one or the other branch. However, you should hire an expert for a thorough, professional and gentle pruning.

THE RIGHT TIME

Basically, trees can be cut throughout the year, especially when it comes to light cutting measures such as individual branches. However, you should preferably carry out this project from late autumn until early spring.

A good pruning promotes the growth of the tree. Here it is particularly important that you consider the natural growth form of the tree. By removing dead and damaged branches, your tree can grow in a controlled manner and form a beautiful crown.

WITH THE EXPERT ON THE SAFE SIDE

It's not just about cutting trees off trees for a long time. Fruit trees need a professional cut to bring good yields. For other trees, the direction of growth must be taken into account when cutting, so that they do not grow in pipes or damage roofs.

The right pruning requires knowledge and skill. Cutting your trees wrong can be just as fatal as not doing the pruning. With a specialist, you are on the safe side.
