New sprouts readily grow to replace lost foliage. Sprouts provide the means to restore energy reserves in the living wood inside the tree and to grow a new crown. However, sprouts can become weakly attached and can break if not managed correctly. Crown restoration pruning helps prevent this by guiding growth and selectively pruning sprouts and branches to produce structurally strong architecture.<\/p>\n<p>Pruning a tree is not the same as \u201ccutting limbs\u201d.\u00a0 An educated, experienced tree pruner only removes limbs for specific reasons.\u00a0 Some reasons to prune a tree might include dead limbs, broken limbs, crossing\/interfering limbs, or limbs that are encroaching on structures or wires.\u00a0 Most trees do not need to be \u201cshaped\u201d, or cut to a symmetrical shape.\u00a0 Tree \u201ctopping\u201d is an antiquated practice, that involves tree cutting the canopy back to a small size, and forcing the tree to re-sprout to survive, and is generally a bad idea.\u00a0\u00a0 Deciding which limbs to prune off is only half the battle.\u00a0 It is very important that each limb is pruned at the appropriate place, with the appropriate tool, using the right technique, and at the proper time of year.\u00a0 An ISA Certified Arborist has been trained in pruning trees the right way, and All About Trees has Certified Arborists on the crews, actually doing the work.<\/p>\n<p>All About Trees is a locally owned, full-service tree care company in Springfield MO serving a 20-mile radius around the Springfield area.\u00a0 We offer many services, including tree pruning and trimming, tree removal, planting, stump grinding, cabling and bracing, shrub trimming, and consultation.<\/p>\n<p>Our owner, Noel Boyer, is an ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) Board Certified Master Arborist, the highest credential awarded to a tree care specialist. Noel calls himself \u201cthe tree hugging owner\u201d of All About Trees because he loves your trees as much as you do. \u00a0Noel is also a tree climbing champion, winning the Midwestern Tree Climbing Championship 7 times!<\/p>\n<p>All About Trees is a different kind of tree service.\u00a0 We prune to ANSI A300 pruning standards, and our crews are run by ISA Certified Arborists.\u00a0 We spend a lot of time and money on education and training for our crew, so we can stay at the leading edge of today&#8217;s standards for caring for your valuable trees.\u00a0 Our uniformed crews are completely covered by property damage and liability insurance, as well as worker&#8217;s compensation to protect our customers from potential liabilities or litigation.\u00a0 Our office is staffed by helpful and friendly managers ready to assist in scheduling your estimates and tree work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All About Trees is caring for Springfield&#8217;s urban forest, one tree at a time.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crown restoration is pruning conducted on topped or damaged trees over time.
