The benefits of tree pruning are not just aesthetic. While that is an important part of it, there are other reasons you should prune your tree:

• Improves the health of the tree by thinning out the canopy and removing dead wood

• Enables better air circulation which allows the tree to “breathe”

• Reduces the chance of major breakage during storms with high winds

• Promotes better tree structure for longevity and optimum growth
