Pruning is selectively removing certain parts of a plant, Trimming is changing the look of a plant for the purposes of aesthetics like trimming a bush until it looks like a shape.
While you could trim your own small trees after your trees and palms reach a larger size it becomes too dangerous for most people . Just like with a lot of things hiring a professional is the way to go. A certified arborist will follow ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) standards and adhere to the Arborist code of ethics. Additionally different species of trees require different techniques in pruning. Pruning back trees incorrectly can cause damage to the tree, and open the door to other problems like infections or insect problems so before attempting to prune your large trees contact a certified arborist.

Over time trees can become overgrown for the space and become a living obstacle threatening structures. It’s especially important to hire a certified arborist for the removing or cutting back large trees, branches and invasive roots, for the purposes of protecting buildings. Close proximity to structures will complicate removing large trees and branches.
While removing trees there are many things to consider including:
Trees prone to fall in a certain direction or leaning towards the ground.
- Managing the risk of broken, dead, or even weak branches.
- Clearing space for roofs and power lines.
- Making sure the tree makes fruit if it does grow it.
- Improving the aesthetic or physical structure of the tree and finally saving a Storm-damaged tree.

Other reasons for bracing can be to solve problems such as that can arise with long, heavy, or overextending limbs other problems such as v-crotches like two tops growing off the main trunk which may also require bracing. Structural defects like that will eventually lead to failures in many parts and even lead to property damage and personal injury. While dealing with these problems support systems such as bracing and cabling are necessary to prevent damage of injuring while manipulating tree branches. Consulting specialists like ISA compliant professionals are perfect for this kind of task as hardware support systems like steel, synthetic cables, and stalking and guying systems must be replaced in the event of weather and other conditions.
