The importance of adequate pruning in Angolan cities
Zé Manuel In Angola, the time of the cacimbo is traditionally the ideal period for urban trees pruning. This approach, known as drastic pruning or weaning, not only impairs the natural development of trees but also reduces their ability to provide shadow, increasing urban heat and reducing the well-being of the population.
The risks of excessive pruning
When a tree is pruned radically, it loses its natural structure, becoming more vulnerable to disease and pests. In addition, the lack of foliage decreases photosynthesis, weakening the tree and delaying its growth. Instead of creating safer trees, this practice can lead to the emergence of fragile and poorly fixed branches that depart more easily during strong winds or rain.
The need to control the height of some species
Some trees, such as certain types of flamboyant or eucalyptus, grow too high, increasing the risk of branches. In these cases, pruning should be done strategically, removing only the highest branches or those with risk without compromising the entire World Cup. The goal is not to eliminate the shadow, but to ensure that the tree grows in a balanced and safe way.
How should the ideal pruning be done?
formation pruning -In the early years, tree growth should be oriented to develop a strong structure.
maintenance pruning -Remove dead, sick or poorly positioned branches, maintaining the natural form of the World Cup.
risk reduction pruning -into very high trees, selectively cut the most dangerous branches, without disregarding the tree.
Avoid radical cuts -Never leave only the trunk as this stimulates weak and disorganized sprouts.
Conclusion
A well -executed pruning prolongs trees, increases safety and improves the urban environment. Municipal administrations should invest in the training of technicians, following international arboriculture standards, so that Angolan cities are greener, fresh and sustainable.
Healthy trees mean fresher and safer cities - it's time to pruning wisely.
