Choosing Trees to Cut
| We all love our trees and choosing to cut trees can be a difficult and emotional decision. However when trees are overcrowded, damaged and diseased, they affect the health of the surrounding trees and forest and can prevent new regeneration which is needed for the forest to continue into the future. Diversity of species and tree ages is the key to a healthy forest. Below are some trees that should be removed. Some tree owners would tell us that these trees have character but they are not strong or healthy trees and at some point, if not removed, they will damage a healthy tree that the owner would have wanted to keep. |
