The right way to prune
A beginner may be tempted to innocently remove the cedar crown for various reasons. Above all, don't do it! Experts know that the first thing to do is to stick to the lateral sections of the trees in the first few years. Cedars must have reached the expected height before the top can be removed. This rule of caution is very important to follow. New shoots should not be cut to any length either. It is preferable to remove only one third of them; at the limit, one can go to half a third, but never more than that. The consequence would be an interruption in the growth of a tree. Such precautionary measures are just a few examples of the knowledge that needs to be controlled when pruning.

Training size
Usually the size of the training is not well known. This art is spread over several years in order to shape a particular silhouette of a tree over time. Ideally, it is very early in the life of the plant that it is appropriate to begin. This precaution makes it possible to avoid several complications. Thus, the scar of a small pruned branch closes faster than for a large one. This principle in fact applies to any modification of structure. The younger the tree is, the better it reacts, and the faster it adjusts. The prognosis is then more often a successful recovery than additional problems. A mature tree has difficulty adapting. A bit like us humans.
One of the insufficiently known benefits of this type of pruning is when it is applied to fruit trees. You should know that it stimulates the amount of fruit produced. Except that it is necessary to have a thorough knowledge and know-how about Quebec fruit trees, especially in order to adapt the pruning category to the species in question, as well as to the tree's growth stage. Emondage Saint-Bruno has the know-how to do just that!
When it comes to creating shade in a specific area, whatever the purpose: to create a resting place or to benefit from a cooler spot, for example, it's still a matter of training pruning. This technique requires great rigor. Also, a visit from one of our specialists is necessary to define your expectations accurately.
