Effects of Pruning and Staking on Landscape Trees

Richard W. Harris

Abstract

Pruning and staking can be effectively used to develop structurally stable trees. The growth of young trees can be directed by pruning branches that are in unwanted permanent positions. Staking should be used primarily to protect and anchor young trees; support staking should be used only when plants are not able to stand upright without support.
