- What are the effects of topping my tree?
What are the effects of topping my tree?
- ** Greenleaf avoids tree topping whenever possible due to the stress it puts on the tree and the longterm safety issues for future tree care providers. Tree topping decreases the longevity and health of the tree because it creates a wound that the tree can never compartmentalize and heal. When a tree is topped, the growth that returns is poorly attached and grows at a tremendous rate. Those who perform future tree care on topped trees are at risk of tree branch failure and falling when climbing and pruning previously topped trees.

- Shearing versus Natural Pruning
Shearing versus Natural Pruning
- ** Shearing can be a slightly less expensive way to prune shrubs. It gives shrubs a more formal appearance but it also drastically decreases the life expectancy of your shrubs.
** Natural Pruning can be a slightly more expensive way to prune shrubs. It gives your shrubs a more natural appearance and is a much more sustainable approach to pruning.
** Greenleaf Landscaping practices Natural Pruning unless shearing is specifically requested.

- Should I paint or seal the wound/cut present in a tree?
Should I paint or seal the wound/cut present in a tree?
- ** The International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) research done on covering wounds found that it is detrimental to the tree, as it creates a hospital environment for decay to form and run at a accelerated rate.
