A tree is any large woody perennial plant with a unique trunk giving rise to branches or leaves at a few distances from the ground.
It's also a tall plant that can live for a very long time. It has a single stem or trunk and branches that support leaves. Beneath the ground, a tree has a root system that acts as an anchor and stores the water and nutrients the plant needs to grow. A tree part includes leaves, twigs and branches, crowns, flowers, fruits and seeds, a trunk, bark, and a root. Research has revealed that there are ∼73,000 tree species globally, among which ∼9,000 tree species are yet to be discovered and roughly 40% of undiscovered tree species are in South America.
Types of trees:
There are diverse types of species of trees but all types can still be classified into two namely deciduous trees and evergreen trees.
Deciduous trees:
these are trees that shed their leaves at a certain time of the year just as the name implies "deciduous" fall off at maturity. Examples include oak, elm, and birch.
Evergreen trees:
these are trees that keep their leaves throughout the year giving the garden and landscape color in all seasons. Examples include pine and fir trees.
Below are the types of tree:
- Hickory trees: these trees are deciduous in the genus Carya and are mostly found in China, North America, and India. These trees are well known for their nutritive nuts. hickory trees are related to walnut trees because they fall in the walnut family Juglandaceae.
- Cedar trees: these are large evergreen trees that have needle-like spirally arranged leaves on scented wood branches. They fall under the genus Cedrus and the family Juniperus. Due to their graceful elegance, they are used as ornamental trees.
- Oak trees: the trees are mostly found in North America and are known for their hard durable and disease-resistant wood. Oak trees produce Acorns also known as oak nuts that have smooth leathery shells that sit in a cup called a cupule. They fall under the genus Quercus and the family Fagaceae.
- Mahogany trees: these are trees with redwood that are prestigious for their reddish brown color, durability, straight grains, hardness, and rot resistance. They are commonly found in Asia, Africa, and New Zealand. They fall under the genus Swietenia and the family Meliaceae.
- Maple trees: these are beautiful deciduous shade trees that have dark brown rumple bark, small winged fruits, narrow reddish-brown twigs, and deeply lobed leaves. They belong to the genus Acer and the family Sapindaceae. Maple trees are known for their sweet maple syrup made from the tree’s sap.

They are one of the large trees native to North America with roots that have destructive effects on building foundations and sidewalks. They fall in the genus Platanus and the family Rosaceae.

Importance of trimming trees regularly:
The word Trimming and pruning are mostly interchangeably used but unexpectedly there is a difference between the two.
Trimming is cutting back down overgrown plants to the desired shape while
Pruning is the removal or reduction of parts of a plant, tree, or vine that are not important to growth or production, are no longer visually attractive, or are injurious to the health or growth of the plant.
However, both are common practices in vineyard management for the improvement of flowering and fruiting.
The horticulture practice includes the targeted removal of diseased, damaged, dead, non-productive, structurally unsound, or otherwise unwanted plant material from crop and landscape plants.
Depending on the size and location of the tree, trimming or pruning can be very dangerous. To ensure your safety, we advise you to let an expert in central texas do any pruning or trimming that you’re not confident in doing.
Below is the importance of trimming regularly:
- Proper growth: just like oneself, plants need proper maintenance for proper growth trimming improves the health and strength of a plant. Structurally trimming the plant will put the plant in shape to support the entire plant, and promotes new growth, balance, and structural integrity of the plant.
- Pest and insect control: trimming your trees help manage pest and insects on trees. The pest and disease might not necessarily kill the tree but are sure to spread thereby weakening the plant and the likelihood of fallen branches. Trimming trees near your house will prevent insects and pests from getting to your building.
- Protection: trimming trees serve as protection to both you and your property. Dead and diseased branches are hazardous because of the dangers of it falling especially during storms. Climbing vine trees should be trimmed regularly to prevent them from climbing near your property.
- Production: trimming trees in late winter promotes more growth in spring and summer. When the tree has less volume to maintain, it can put its surplus energy stores into producing more fruit.
Proper pruning magnifies the beauty of almost any landscape tree and shrub, while improper pruning can ruin or greatly reduce landscape potential. In most cases, it is better not to prune than to do it incorrectly. In nature, plants go years with little or no pruning, but man can ruin what nature has created. Using incompatible pruning methods makes healthy plants weakened or deformed.
