Tree trimming means to cut off parts of some of the tree branches to improve the tree’s health, shape, light penetration, or fruit/flowering.

 

Tree Pruning Tips. Keep lateral branches as evenly spaced as possible, especially on young trees. Prune away branches that cross other branches or run against them. Never remove more than one-fourth of a living crown at once. If you need to remove more than that, spread it out over a number of years.
