There are two methods of pruning that may take place: thinning and tip pruning. Thinning is the process of removing older, weaker branches to make way for new stronger branches. Tip pruning is the process of removing just a few inches from the tips of the branches down to a new bud which is where the new growth will continue from. These practices should be done branch by branch in order to maintain a tidy appearance.

How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
