We cut trees and shrubs in winter (during dormancy) and summer (during the growing season). Typically, the first treatment is performed at the turn of February and March, and the second from mid-July to the end of August. In this way, we get rid of old and diseased branches, stimulate the tree to grow and produce new shoots.

Cutting trees. How to do it correctly?

Cutting a large number of branches at once does not have a positive effect on development. It then begins to grow uncontrollably and is less resistant to frost and diseases. It is best to spread the cutting over several seasons. Do not cut the shoots right at the bud, as they will become weak and susceptible to damage. After seasonal pruning, there are plenty of twigs left in the garden. Not only does it look unsightly and take up space in your yard, but it is also a breeding ground for pests and diseases. Branches infected (e.g. with fungus) are not safe for our health, so they cannot be left like this. In addition, a pile of branches also poses a fire hazard.

How to get rid of branches? There are several possibilities

Burning bio-waste is prohibited, so you cannot make a fire using collected branches. If the twigs are there, you can use them to make a composter. The second option is to pack the waste into a bio-bag and arrange with the waste removal company to take it away. You can also take the bag with green waste to PSZOK, i.e. the Selective Collection of Municipal Waste. Using a shredder is a great idea. Gardeners use it to quickly and easily shred branches. They can then be used for mulching instead of bark or used for compost.
