Dead Wooding
Dead wooding is a very important part of tree maintenance. It’s when branches or limbs die off within a tree and can either break off or become vulnerable. These limbs can then fall over time or during periods of high winds and storms. Dead limbs can fall and injure people, property, and pets if not removed in due time.
Also, if dead limbs are left, they will affect the tree's overall health as rot can set in and spread to healthy areas. As a tree grows, producing a small amount of dead and dying wood is natural. The “dead wooding” process removes the dead, dying and diseased branches throughout the crown.
The simple purpose is to make what’s known as the impact area (directly beneath the canopy of the trees) a safer environment so there is no chance of any limb falling from the tree’s canopy.
While an arborist removes deadwood from the tree, it is also a good practice to include crown cleaning in the pruning operation. This way, any crossing, rubbing or damaged branches will be removed too.
