Pruning is the selective felling of the parts of the tree that houses a definite purpose. The branches and roots are usually pruned, but there are other similar practices in leaves, flowers and fruits, to improve the production in fruit trees, which is also called pruning.

In summary, pruning is a combination of art and technique that is based on the biological knowledge of the tree and is carried out for the following five reasons: safety, sanitation, aesthetics, production and quality. Keep in mind that the relevance of each of the above reasons is distributed from highest to lowest priority. That said, the highest priority is given to safety pruning, then to sanitation and in the end to the other three. Even so, each of them must be taken into account according to the type of work we want to do.

After ordering them according to their priority it is necessary to know the intention or objective of each one, so it is convenient to make a description of each of them to obtain a more generalized and detailed vision of the different reasons to prune.

Sometimes excessive pruning is necessary to minimize risks, which can give you the chance to save a damaged tree's life.

Pruning the broken or damaged branches helps to heal the wounds caused to the trees so that later you can enjoy good health which will be appreciable in a short time. Sanitation or sanitary pruning aims to invigorate the tree canopy by eliminating the burden it has, by keeping branches useless. In some species such as poplar, willows or pines, eliminatory pruning of branches and terminal branches is practiced to eliminate outbreaks of pests or other causes.
Importance of pruning for aesthetic reasons: it tries to improve the natural characteristics of trees and encourage floral production. Pruning to improve the structure is especially effective with open-growth trees, which lose very little foliage spontaneously. Aesthetic or artistic pruning is practiced in public and private trees and shrubs. The appearance of the tree is the objective of this pruning, not only individual but collective, will determine the artistic picture of the landscape pruner while marking a certain type of landscape for the view of others.
Importance of production pruning: production pruning is particularly focused on fruit trees. However, they are also used to stimulate flowering and generation of vegetative shoots. It is very important to know this technique well since it will help to obtain more benefits to the worker who wants to improve the productivity of his trees.
