Scenic Trees At The Cottage, Chalet And Home - What Is The Best Time To Prune And Maintain?

The question is often asked as to when be the right and correct time to "Prune" your trees? This is always a topical and highly relevant important question when it comes to the topic of tree care - for your yard and garden Landscaping - whether it is your city house or rural cottage or chalet.

When considering the timeliness of Pruning one must consider various factors. The correct timing is not always when it is easiest and most convenient for the Landscape artist or technician.

The first factor to consider is that every Pruning cut on a living branch is a direct insult and injury to that Plant is it tree, bush or Shrub. These wounds take away energy from the plants vital stores and reserves. Pruning wounds will cause the tree to use energy to contain the decay that is caused by injuring the tree and as well in the repair process. Nothing is for nothing and so it is with tree care and growth. . Make it a general overall rule to prune only the bare minimum amount needed. Experience of millennia of professional landscapers has shown that pruning excessively will result in permanent injury to the tree or Plant trimmed. As well in the future increased frequencies of corrective pruning and Landscaping will most likely be needed and required. These later repairs would otherwise may not have been required.

The second factor to consider is the actual species of the tree. It is well known that various trees have different growth patterns that affect the time of year that you can successfully prune the tree. Trees like Maple, willow and birch should not be pruned late in the year - in the winter seasons and as well in the early springtime seasons. Pruning willow , Maple and birch trees at these times will cause them to lose copious amounts of sap liquid , that while it does slightly weaken the trees , will leave a sticky mess in your yard. Trees that tend to lose sap can be best be pruned when they are at their fully leafed state later in the spring or summer season.

The third factor to consider is the presence of insect pests and disease. Some trees may be made more susceptible to these problems when you injure them by pruning. For this reason, species like elm and oak should only be pruned when dormant, which is typically after their leaves fall and into mild winter. In many jurisdictions, there are prohibitions on pruning elms and oaks during their growing seasons.

Generally most Flowering trees can be pruned right after they flower to allowing new flower buds to set. Pruning these trees too late can result in poor flowing response the following growing season year.

It has been found that with many Deciduous Trees, the later you wait to prune them, in the winter season, the greater the amount of adventitious shoots you will develop the following year. If you prune these trees later in the season - best in fall or late summer you will find that these succulent shoots are less likely to avail themselves in your yard.

Spruce Trees and most Pine Trees can be pruned in the spring time when they are generally putting out new growth. Generally most evergreen Conifers follow this rule and should not be pruned from mid summer until the fall weather cools off.

Finally, it is important that you're landscaping tools and utensils are sharp and up to the job. Cuts larger than ¾ of an inch should be performed with a sharp saw. If the cut is below ¼ of an inch then the preferred tool are "bypass pruning shears".

All in all, prune your Landscape Trees, Shrubs and plants correctly and at the appropriate time of the year for the species of plant.

Fougstedt: The Arch Of The Birch Trees / Turunen, Et Al $16.99 Alba:4

Lives of the Trees $19.95 Diana Wells, author of 100 Flowers and How They Got Their Names now turns her attention to something biggerour deep-rooted relationship with trees. As she investigates the names and meanings of trees, telling their legends and lore, she reminds us of just how innately bound we are to these protectors of our planet. Since the human race began, we have depended on them for food, shade, shelter and fuel, not to mention furniture, musical instruments, medicine utensils and more. Wells has a remarkable ability to dig up the curious and the captivating: At one time, a worm found in a hazelnut prognosticated ill fortune. Rowan trees were planted in churchyards to prevent the dead from rising from their graves. Greek arrows were soaked in deadly yew, and Shakespeare's witches in Macbeth used Gall of goat and slips of Yew to make their lethal brew. One bristlecone pine, at about 4,700 years old, is thought to be the oldest living plant on earth. All this and more can be found in the beautifully illustrated pages (themselves born of birch bark!) of 100 Trees .

The Man Whom the Trees Loved $18.79 Algernon Henry Blackwood, (1869 1951) was an English writer of supernatural fiction. Blackwood was also a journalist and a broadcasting narrator. Blackwood had a varied career, farming in Canada, operating a hotel, a newspaper reporter in New York, and essayist for various periodicals. His works included ten collections of short stories, fourteen novels, childrens stories, and several plays. Many of his stories reflect his love of nature and the outdoors. His two bestknown stories were The Willows and The Wendigo. The Man Whom the Trees Loved is the story of a man with a special relationship with trees. The story begins, He painted trees as by some special divining instinct of their essential qualities. He understood them. He knew why in an oak forest, for instance, each individual was utterly distinct from its fellows, and why no two beeches in the whole world were alike. People asked him down to paint a favorite lime or silver birch, for he caught the individuality of a tree as some catch the individuality of a horse. How he managed it was something of a puzzle, for he never had painting lessons, his drawing was often wildly inaccurate, and, while his perception of a Tree Personality was true and vivid, his rendering of it might almost approach the ludicrous. Yet the character and personality of that particular tree stood there alive beneath his brushshining, frowning, dreaming, as the case might be, friendly or hostile, good or evil. It emerged.

The Native Trees of Canada (Paperback) $37.28 A bold reinterpretation of a century-old bookWhile shopping in the used-book store the Monkey’s Paw in Toronto, Leanne Shapton happened upon a 1956 edition of the government reference book The Native Trees of Canada, originally published in 1917 by the Canadian Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources. Most people might simply view the book as a dry cataloging of a banal subject; Shapton, however, saw beauty in the technical details and was inspired to create her own interpretation of The Native Trees of Canada as a present for her boyfriend. Shapton distills each image into its simplest form, using vivid colors in lush ink and house paint. She takes the otherwise complex objects of trees, pinecones, and seeds and strips them down into bold, almost abstract shapes and colors: the water birch is represented as two pulsating red bulbs contrasted against a gray backdrop; the eastern white pine is represented by a close-up of its cone against a radiant summer sky. The author of Was She Pretty? and Important Artifacts and Personal Property from the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris, Including Books, Street Fashion, and Jewelry, Shapton puts forth yet another entirely new facet of her creative artistry.
