  • Cleaning was a selective technique of pruning for the removal of one or more parts of the plants such as diseased, dead, and broken branches. It was done to decrease the risk of falling branches from the tree and also to decrease the movement of insects, decay, and diseases from dying and dead branches in the tree. It was a good method for matured trees because unnecessarily it does not remove the live branches.
  • Thinning was done to decrease the density of live branches as it decreases the density from the edge of the crown and not from the interior which increases the penetration of sunlight and air movement.
  • Raising provides vertical clearance as crown raising shortens or removes the lower branches of the tree which provide clearance to signs, buildings, pedestrians, vehicles, and vistas.
  • Reducing was done for decreasing the spread and height of the trees. It was done for decreasing the spread and height, for utility line clearance, minimize the risk of failure, clear the vegetation from buildings and other structures, and also for the improvement of the appearance of the plant.

Some of the techniques for pruning the tree are not acceptable as they can cause injury to the trees like –

  • Topping was done for decreasing the size of the tree by using cuts that shorten the branches and limbs for the crown limit and leave the large stubs.
  • Lion’s Tailing was done for removing a large number of branches from a tree.
  • Rooster-Tailing was done for over-thinning of the palms by the removal of too many lower fronds.
