Cut deciduous trees properly - you should pay attention to this
How exactly and when a deciduous tree is cut back, is very different and depends on the specific type and variety. What you should not do however: Plant a growing tree in too small a location and then hamper it by strong cutting measures in its development.
Why do you have to cut that?
A pruning is primarily to promote the natural structure of a woody as well as to preserve or restore it later - for example, by a vergreister, verkahlter tree through a targeted cut undergoes a rejuvenation. Cutting measures are also necessary for the shaping of hedges and shaped trees (eg sculptures made of beech or hornbeam), but not for the height limitation of stronger than expected grown shrubs and trees. Not every deciduous tree needs to be cut, in many cases the attachment of scissors often causes great damage. However, refined woody plants, such as many fruit trees and ornamental fruit trees, need regular pruning to produce even fruit.
The different forms of pruning
Cutting measures should be carried out on deciduous trees as far as possible in the time of dormancy. But because not a few tree species lose significant amounts of bleeding juice after a pruning in the late winter, they are better cut in late summer. This is useful in species such as maples (Acer), Gleditsia (Gleditsia triacanthos), walnut (Juglans), tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera), magnolia (Magnolia), snails trees (Sophora) and summer linden (Tilia platyphyllos).
plant section
Deciduous trees are often transplanted with bare roots. When loosening you lose part of their roots, so before planting a balance between the remaining roots and aboveground plant parts must be created. To do this, remove weak and damaged branches and cut the remaining ones by about a third. Woody plants, which naturally build up with a few, thick branches, do not require a plant-cut. This also applies to evergreen deciduous trees.
preservation section
Basically, most deciduous and deciduous trees do not need a conservation cut, unless they are fruit trees. However, you can clear the trees or remove deadwood or sick wood.
Tips
Many small trees such as fruit and ornamental fruit trees and shrubs are propagated in the nursery by a refinement. Not infrequently drive out of the pad more or less "wild" shoots that you must remove carefully right at their point of origin. Otherwise they could overgrow the noble variety, or at least inhibit their development.
