SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — Pruning your trees is essential to keeping them protected from storms, and property protected from debris. This is especially true given the severe weather that has plagued the Sioux Falls area recently.
According to americanarborist.net, pruning your trees removes dead and weak branches, abd boosts the proper structure and growth of your trees. Regularly conducting tree pruning can shape your trees in becoming more resistant to weather damage.
Doctor John Ball, Professor of Forestry at South Dakota State University says pruning should go hand in hand with treatment for the emerald ash borer. After all, he says, if the ash tree is toppled by strong winds, the treatment is just wasted money.
