A good rule of thumb says to remove no more than about 25% of a tree's leafy canopy in a single year. Cutting more than that stresses the tree and invites pests, disease, and a mess of weak new sprouts. If a tree needs a lot of work, spreading it over a few seasons keeps it healthy.
Mature shade trees around Jonesborough usually do well with a trim every three to five years, while younger trees benefit from shaping every couple of years. Fast growers near your house may need attention more often. After a big storm, it's worth checking for broken or hanging limbs, no matter when you last trimmed.
Yes, and it's one of the most common mistakes out there. Chopping the top off a tree leaves big wounds that rot and trigger a flush of weak, fast-growing sprouts that break easily in storms. Lots of Tennessee homeowners chop back their crape myrtles this way, but careful thinning keeps them healthier and prettier.
People use the two words interchangeably, and that's fine. Technically, pruning focuses on a tree's health and structure, such as removing dead or crossing branches, while trimming leans more toward shaping, clearing views, and keeping limbs away from your house. A good crew usually does a bit of both in one visit.
Branches that overhang your roof can scrape shingles, clog gutters with leaves, and provide squirrels with an easy path into your attic. During East Tennessee's thunderstorms and ice storms, heavy limbs can snap and punch right through. Aim for about 10 feet of space between branches and your roof.
