When to trim a cedar hedgeOne of the most common reasons given for the popularity of the cedar hedge as a separation from the neighbors is its low cost. Chances are, that's what attracts you to this option as well. Plus, it can go higher than a fence.
On the other hand, if you choose this option, you will definitely want your hedge to be very full, as it should be. What do you think is the best-kept secret to this result? You can probably guess? Yes, regular maintenance, i.e. having your hedge trimmed every year. Can we prune at any time?In addition, you should know that there are optimal annual periods to effectively prune your cedar hedges. For example, it is not ideal to prune during hot weather. In fact, there is a time when it is best to prune hedges, which is between the very beginning of July and mid-September.

The right way to trim
Have you ever thought that pruning cedars is pretty easy? You'll be amazed at the skill involved in this seemingly simple task.
New growth should be pruned as soon as it emerges. But there are precautions to be taken. For example, it is advisable not to cut more than a third of the way through, although in some situations half the length is acceptable, but no more. Failure to do so is not just a clumsy or trivial transgression; on the contrary, such an excess may even interrupt the development of the trees.
Another principle to follow is to wait until these trees with their distinctive foliage have reached a certain size before topping them, if this measure is necessary. In the meantime, any cutting is strictly reserved for the side branches.
This is only a sample of the measures to be respected when pruning cedars. So it's no wonder that the most beautiful hedges are those that have been professionally maintained. That's the result you'll get from our specialists.

Structural training
There is another type of pruning that few homeowners know about. It is a type of maintenance that is spread out over the long term, with the aim of giving a predetermined shape. This is called training pruning.
It should be started when a specimen is still young. The reason for this is that, like all living things, the wound healing process is more efficient at a young age than at maturity. Indeed, any cut causes a scar, even when the purpose is to straighten a tree. In addition, a small branch recovers more quickly than a large one. Also, young trees are more malleable! It's like for humans, right? Finally, the younger a specimen is, the less likely it is that interventions will lead to complications later on.
It is conceivable that you may ask yourself a frequent question, here as with cedars: why should we have this kind of pruning done?
For example, fruit trees have the edge. If you have them, you will be happy to know that training pruning promotes more successful fruit production. Training pruning must be adapted to the tree that benefits from it. Our experts at Emondage Trois-Rivieres Pro, know all about fruit trees that grow in Quebec. Another advantage is to have your trees take a shape that you can control better. There are many reasons for this: simply for looks, or to provide shade where you want it. Perhaps because you want to eventually install a refreshing and welcome sitting area in hot weather.
Training pruning is a precision technique. It requires an on-site visit to evaluate the needs and the plan to be put in place.
