1 Pruning for South Florida John J. Pipoly III, Urban Horticulture Agent Sandra Granson, Horticulture Technician Gloria Witkus, Program Assistant UF-IFAS/Broward County Extension Education Division
2 Pruning Definition: The judicious removal of plant parts in order to direct new growth
3 Reasons for Pruning Size control Health Safety Training Improve appearance Influence flowering, fruiting and/or vigor
4 Reason for Pruning Size Control: Pruning can maintain or reduce the size of a tree. Can reduce shade Decrease the danger of damage in a wind storm Prevent interference with utility lines
5 Health: Reason for Pruning Pruning can help prevent the spread of diseases, insects and in some cases, stem rot. Correct pruning can increase light penetration and air circulation
6 Reason for Pruning Safety: Removal of dead and hazardous low limbs will increase the safety around the tree. Wind resistance may also be reduced Remove branches with V- shaped crotches
7 Reason for Pruning Training Young Plants: Main branches may be trained when the plant is young. It is easier to shape the branches when a tree is young Pruning young trees right will save time and money in the future
8 Reason for Pruning Improve Appearance: Pruning can shape the tree, to accentuate but not alter its natural form
9 Reason for Pruning Influence flowering, fruiting and/or vigor: Pruning at the right time and place can improve flower quantity which in return improves fruit quantity.
10 What to Prune Remove dead, diseased or damaged wood. Remove rubbing and interfering branches and water sprouts Prune poorly placed branches and narrow V crotches (included bark) Prune the plant to shaped desired
11 Do Not remove more than 1/4 of the foliage at one time
12 When to Prune in South FL Trees can be pruned any time in South Florida Major pruning in winter when the plants are less actively growing Before hurricane season Flowering trees after flowering Fruit trees- after fruiting season
13 Safety Rules for Pruning If you need a ladder, the tree is too large for you to prune If the branch is more than 2 inches in diameter, do not do it. Use protective eye wear, protective clothing and gloves Make sure your tools are sharp
14 Safety Rules for Pruning Do Not work near power lines or power sources Never use a chain saw Stay away from storm damaged trees Concentrate on your job Know your limits and limits of your tools, when in doubt, call a professional
15 Definitions Lion-tailing: Removing all of the inner laterals and foliage. Displacing the foliar weight to the ends of the branches. This causes sunburned bark tissue, watersprouts and branch breakage. Crown reduction: This reduces the size of a tree Best accomplished by cutting limbs back to laterals that are at least 1/3 the size of the parent limb. Often referred to as drop-crotch pruning Topping or heading back: Cutting of limbs back to a stub, bud or a lateral branch not large enough to assume the terminal role.
16 Definitions Deadwooding: Removal of dead, weak and dying branches from a tree to eliminate safety hazards Crown cleaning: this removes dead, diseased, crowded, weakly attached, low vigor branches and water sprouts from a tree crown Crown thinning: Includes crown cleaning as well as selective removal of branches to increase light penetration and air movement into the crown, and to reduce weight.
