How Regular Pruning Reduces the Risk of Pests in Fall
At Brown's Tree Care (479-273-0202), we believe in the importance of regular pruning for maintaining healthy, pest-free trees. Here's how pruning can benefit your trees:
- Improved air circulation: Pruning helps to open up the canopy of a tree, allowing for better air circulation. This can help to dry out wet leaves and branches, which can be breeding grounds for pests and diseases.
- Removing weak or diseased branches: Pruning away branches that are weak, damaged, or diseased can eliminate potential hiding spots for pests and prevent the spread of infections.
- Reducing hiding places: Pruning can also remove dense, tangled growth that can provide hiding places for pests, such as aphids, scale insects, and spider mites.
- Increasing sunlight exposure: By opening up the canopy, pruning can increase sunlight exposure to the interior of the tree. This can help to discourage pests that prefer shaded conditions.
- Promoting healthy growth: Regular pruning can promote healthy, vigorous growth, which can make trees more resistant to pests and diseases.

RIP and condolences to the family. Chipper accidents don't just happen. This is what happens when you put inexperienced people on the job. You literally have to throw yourself into the Chipper for this to happen. Most of the workers here at Brown's have been doing this for 10-20 years. Most homeowners do not realize that if a tree care worker gets hurt, they are the ones held liable. Make sure whatever tree service you pick has a specialized policy for tree trimming. Accidents can easily cost a homeowner 100K to 1M. https://local12.com/news/nation-world/woodchipper-shredded-death-worker-landscaper-landscaping-pulled-sucked-inside-into-intimidator-malfunction-malfunctioning-defective-lawsuit-family-killed-died-kill-kills-work-cemetery-graveyard-tree-trees-wood
