When to trim a cedar hedgeWhy is the cedar hedge so popular? Well, for one thing, it is inexpensive, for another, it is soundproof, and it is natural. However, if you do not take care of it properly, it will become stunted instead of resembling the beautiful bushy look you would like it to have. A cedar hedge is no good if you do not maintain it every year. You must take care of your cedar hedge so that it can afford you optimal results.
The best time to maintain your cedar hedge is from the end of June to the end of August, when the trees have had time to grow in the current year. Trimming cedar hedge in the spring and fall is not the best time, nor is it done during hot weather. The window of opportunity is noticeably short, so a good tip is to get started right away. In fact, why not book a fixed annual maintenance period? To do so, pick up the phone and contact us, Emondage Pointe-Claire, at 438-600-6212.

Some rules in the art of cedar hedge trimming
Young cedars require trimming that focuses on the lateral branches. This precaution allows the tree to grow in height. When the height reaches the desired level, the trees are mature and can be topped.
It is advisable to cut off no more than a third of the length of new growth. Sometimes it will be possible to go to half but not more. Always proceed with caution.
The shape to be given to them varies. Some prefer to give them a round look, others prefer a conical shape. The latter allows the light to reach all the foliage, giving strength to the tree species. The branches of a strong cedar are more resistant to the weight of snow in winter and other bouts of severe weather. Leave the trimming to our Pointe-Claire tree service professionals to avoid a clumsy shear that could interrupt growth or produce unfortunate gaps and other physical imbalances.

Tree training
There is another technique to introduce you to: tree training. This one is less known. It starts on young trees because the results are acquired over the long term. By starting on young trees, the healing process is accelerated, as the branches are smaller and more malleable. At maturity, the branches are tougher and less resilient.
This pruning technique is used to give the species a good structure and a particular shape. It is not about making them look like cartoon designs, but about giving them a particular geometric shape and improving the symmetry or balance of the silhouette.
Is tree training useful? This practice stimulates the growth of trees and in the case of fruit trees, you can enjoy a more abundant harvest. Our experts know the particularities of Quebec trees, including fruit trees.
Controlling the shape of a tree also allows you to direct shadows and availability of light, by removing branches, according to the implemented strategy for your garden planning. This is a technique that requires great dexterity. It is even more important, in this case, that our Emondage Pointe-Claire professionals visit your trees, in person, to make an evaluation. emerald ash borer
