The Importance of Pruning for Plant Health

Did you know that pruning your plants is extremely important for their health? Unpruned plants develop dead or decaying branches and stubs that affect the health of the entire plant. Pruning, especially with the proper tools, allows the plant to properly grow and prosper without infecting other surrounding plants. Regular pruning also acts as a preventative measure to protect your plants in the long-term. Having a regular pruning schedule protects your plants, as well as the area surrounding them, and keeps them healthy. Luckily, Brushking has all the cutting, shaping, and pruning tools you need to make this process quick and easy.

Pruning with sharp blades acts as a defense mechanism for your plants, because it helps deter animals and pests from infesting your plants. Pruning helps eliminate the habitability of your plants for animals like snakes that create hazards later on. Pruning with a shearing knife also helps your plants maintain their natural shape and encourages them to grow in a healthy manner. This is especially important when it comes to keeping your plants proportionate and aesthetically pleasing. For smaller plants, using a Felco® pruner gives you the opportunity to control your plants shape and size.

From a landscaping perspective, regular pruning supports property management, making sure that your plants are not negatively impacting the area surrounding them. With trees, it is imperative to prune off dead or broken branches to protect the people and property around them. Additionally, pruning allows light to properly penetrate the plant and reach all necessary areas. For those hard to reach areas, we offer a wide range of saws and blades.
