Tree Canopy Management

Tree canopy management involves the maintenance of the upper layer of foliage in trees to ensure proper light penetration, air circulation, and overall tree health. This practice includes pruning to remove dead, diseased, or overcrowded branches, which can improve the tree's structure, prevent storm damage, and reduce the risk of falling branches. Canopy management also involves thinning the canopy to allow more sunlight to reach the ground, benefiting underplantings and turf. For fruit trees, managing the canopy can improve fruit production by ensuring that more of the tree's energy is directed toward fewer, healthier branches. Regular tree canopy management is essential for the long-term health, safety, and aesthetic value of trees in the landscape.
