Pruning

Pruning constitutes an important section in the care of plants, trees, and shrubs since it helps them to stay strong and alive, and favors their development. The important thing is to know which is the most suitable and recommended pruning technique and the time to do it.

We can find 4 types of pruning: cleaning, training, maintenance, and renovation.

Cleaning pruning: its main objective is the elimination of elements and formations that are undesirable in plants, trees, and shrubs. Therefore, branches or parts of plants that are dead, dry, diseased, or damaged are removed. Poorly oriented branches or those that tangle the crown; sprouts of root, neck, or trunk of the foot can ruin the tree for good. It is important to note that this type of pruning is necessary for all types of plants or trees and can be done at any time of the year. They must be an ongoing habit as they are an essential part of normal garden maintenance.

Training pruning: its main objective is to achieve a certain shape of the fruit plant or tree.

Maintenance pruning: its main objective is to keep non-fruit plant species in good condition, as well as to maintain the forms of the plants.

Renewal or rejuvenation pruning: its main objective is to remove the aged parts or elements of the tree or shrub, to replace them with new and younger ones.

To prune, clean cuts must be made, so we must use cutting tools such as one-hand pruning shears or hammer scissors that are longer and can be used with both hands. Subsequently, we must protect the pruning cuts to prevent the entry of fungi and diseases on the plant. To protect pruning cuts, hail wounds, frost, broken branches in trees, and shrubs, we recommend the use of the best "healing pastes".
