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.
