Japanese maples are a Pruning Pro specialty. This maple had long irregular branching and an out of balance appearance. Proper pruning not only restored balance, but kept the tree looking very natural. When pruned correctly, short stubs are not left behind. The tree branches will taper to a natural point and still look great in the fall and winter after all the leaves have fallen.

The WildLife Botanical Gardens in Clark County, WA had overgrown pathways in the 'NW Natives' theme garden. Natural pruning techniques by Pruning Pro proved especially effective in maintaining the integrity of the garden. Pathways were cleared and all plants retained their natural appearance. Since shearing was avoided, visitors can walk the paths without noticing signs of recent pruning.

Something a little different: This camellia was attached to the house with green garden ribbon and staples. There was no way to paint, and pruning was difficult.
Pruning Pro helped the homeowner install a trellis behind the camellia, a few inches from the house. Branches are now much easier to train and prune. When it is time to paint, the trellis is detached, branches are gently pulled forward for paint access, then the trellis is returned. The camellia and homeowner are very happy!

Specialty dwarf conifers are perfect for the Pacific Northwest. The interior of this beautiful Tanyosho red pine (Pinus densiflora) had thick layers of trapped sluffed off needles and heavy moisture. The interior was cleaned and pruned for more light and air flow.
