SUMMARY "Mature trees provide many valuable services in the landscape.  They provide habitat for wildlife, a cool place to rest outside on a hot day, and can even lower energy bills when planted to shade the building.  Mature trees also increase the value of your property, which means proper care of your trees is really an investment in your investment!  So, how do you make sure they are well‐cared for?  Below are some great resources on proper pruning of mature trees.  If you hire someone to do the work for you, be sure to hire an ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) certified arborist.  Find one here.
