KIWI Tree Pruning Barnham
Pruning trees is important for several reasons. It helps young trees grow, prevents decay, and gives your tree an excellent-looking structure. Pruning also ensures preventive maintenance of the tree and is not only good for the health and appearance of the plant but also protects other plants, people, and property from injury. It also prevents pest infestation and helps ensure the tree stays healthy by increasing airflow and light penetration. By pruning the tree, we will also remove dead, damaged, and dying branches, which keeps the tree safe and removes hazards to people and structures around the plant.
When is the best time to prune trees in Barnham, West Sussex?
The best time to prune trees in Barnham, West Sussex is either spring or mid-summer. If your tree is still young and developing, look to prune during spring rather than summer, which is best saved for more established trees. Winter pruning happens after leaf fall and before buds burst open with new leaves in the spring, this would probably take place in December, January, and February in the UK. Summer pruning is normally undertaken in a short period around the end of July to mid-August in the UK. Summer pruning should be about fruit bud formation and checking growth.
What are the common mistakes to avoid when pruning trees in Barnham, West Sussex?
- Pruning too much: removing too much of the tree can cause stress and damage to the tree.
- Pruning at the wrong time: pruning at the wrong time of year can cause damage to the tree and reduce its ability to recover.
- Using dull tools: using dull tools can cause damage to the tree and make it more difficult to make clean cuts.
- Removing too much of the canopy: removing too much of the canopy can cause stress and damage to the tree.
- Not making clean cuts: making jagged cuts can cause damage to the tree and make it more difficult to heal.

Aston gave excellent advice ahead of the job, turned up exactly when he said he would, and was professional from start to finish. He and his team cut back three large conifers efficiently for a fair price and left everything tidy afterwards. They were polite, helpful, and clearly knew their stuff. I’ll definitely be using them again and highly recommend their services. Barb Chaitoff7. May, 2025.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

John Green4. March, 2025.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really pleased with the results of the tree surgery. We had an old apple tree that had grown top heavy and unmanageable. Anton brought it down to a much more shapely tree better suited to its space in the garden. Did exactly what he said he would and took everything away. Thoroughly recommended. Hannah Hills3. January, 2025.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
