Structural Pruning - Frequently Asked Questions
Ideally within the first 5-7 years of planting, but mature trees can also benefit from corrective structural pruning to address defects.
Proper structure reduces wind resistance and creates stronger branching that's less likely to fail during Pacific storms or high wind events.
Co-dominant leaders, weak branch attachments, and crossing branches are common in San Francisco's urban trees due to limited space and competition for light.
Young trees benefit from annual structural pruning for the first 5 years, then every 3-5 years for maintenance as they mature.
