Reasons Why People Should Take Up Pruning, According to Green Heart Lifestyle

Green Hearts Lifestyle, the Niagara Falls, NY based gardening tools manufacturer has released new information on the reasons why gardeners should take up pruning as a part of their 2017 campaign on gardening and garden tools.

According to Aad Hermann, CEO of Green Heart Lifestyle, “Pruning is one of an essential practice of good gardening, and can completely transform the health of the plants when employed regularly. Through our focus on pruning shears, we want to empower each gardener with the best tool that can take care of all of their pruning needs.”

Gardeners utilize pruning for its following benefits - to promote plant health, to maintain plants, to improve plant appearance and to protect the people and property. By removing dead or dying branches and leaves injured by disease, severe insect infestation, animals, storms, or other adverse mechanical damage, the longevity of the plants can be increased and a slow death can be prevented.

Care should also be taken to remove branches that rub together as well as branch stubs, as these tend to damage the plant and do not promote the fresh growth of leaves and flowers. However, in the case of trees, removing large branches is avoided as it can cause several health problems apart from weakening the tree structure and ruining its natural shape.

A garden clipper with a bypass design is used when one is pruning for maintenance. The sharpness of its cut encourages flower and fruit development, helps maintain dense hedges and provides control to the gardener in deciding the plant’s form.

When used for improving appearances, pruning can help control the plant’s size and shape, keep shrubby evergreens well proportion and thick as well as remove any unwanted branches, suckers, waterspouts and other structures that ruin the look of the landscape. Lastly, pruning is essential in maintaining plants and trees such that they do not cause any harm to either people or to property. Dead and weak branches are removed while pruning as well as weak or narrow angles tree branches that overhang homes and sidewalks.

Pruning is, therefore, a fundamental practice in gardening that provides the gardener control over their plant’s health, growth and appearance as well as their own.
