| Aspect | ||
|---|---|---|
| Tree Growth | Trees grow by soaking up sunlight and water, making new leaves and branches. When you prune, you cut some parts, helping the tree focus on growing stronger branches. | Pruning changes how the tree balances itself. By removing branches, you reduce weight and help it stand straighter against the wind. |
| Nutrient Flow | Cutting branches allows the tree to send more nutrients (like food and water) to the remaining parts, promoting better growth. | Pruning is like re-routing a river: it allows nutrients to flow more efficiently to where they’re needed most, like the leaves and new growth. |
| Healing Process | After pruning, the tree starts healing by forming protective tissue over the cuts, preventing pests and diseases from getting in. | When you make a cut, the tree’s sap flows to the wound, acting like a natural bandage to help seal and heal it. |
| Light Exposure | Pruning opens up the tree’s canopy, allowing more sunlight to reach the leaves. More light means better photosynthesis, helping the tree make food. | By removing some branches, you let in more light, similar to how opening curtains brightens a room. This helps the tree make more energy from the sun. |
| Growth Hormones | Trees have hormones that control growth. When you prune, it can shift these hormones to encourage growth in areas you want to thrive. | Cutting branches changes the distribution of weight, which affects how the tree reacts to forces like gravity and wind, influencing its growth direction. |
| Stress Management | If you prune too much or at the wrong time, it can stress the tree and make it vulnerable to diseases. Proper pruning helps keep it healthy. | Pruning reduces strain on the tree by balancing the weight of branches, making it less likely to break or topple during storms. |
| Branch Angles | Branches grow at angles to maximize sunlight capture. Pruning affects how new branches will develop and grow at those angles. | The angle of branches affects how they handle forces like wind. Proper pruning can help ensure that branches can flex without breaking. |
