Directional pruning is designed to give the tree structural balance while maintaining a preferred shape.

Healthy Trees for Life

Removing the tree’s limbs or branches that are showing signs of disease can increase its chance of survival by allowing the nutrients to disperse to the healthier areas. If a branch has died off, the tree continues to send valuable nutrients and water to it in an effort to replenish it. In so doing, the excessive dispersal prevents the rest of the healthy tree from getting the needed moisture and nutrients, which can induce more branches to die off. Removing the dead or even dying branches can improve the trees strength.
