Plants, from the tiniest to the biggest, from shrubs to giant redwoods, have a very great impact in the lives of every single creature that roam the earth. They are very important for a lot of reasons. One, they are reliant partners in the respiration process. They take in the carbon dioxide that humans release and give out oxygen that animals inhale. They are also excellent food sources. They are staple for both herbivores and omnivores, which in turn is food for the carnivores.

They are also useful as they help provide earth inhabitants with cleaner and fresher air. They are also capable of phytoremediation, which is the absorption of harmful and potentially toxic chemicals that may have made their way into the soil. Without trees, these harmful substances will just go on to water reserves found underground or make their way to bodies of water nearby. They are also beneficial in raising property values in real estate, which is why some people are now into tree trimming.

They are also natural weather controllers. They bring about adequate moisture levels that humans need to have for utmost comfort. They also provide shade and relieve humans from heat during the summer months. Even when they lose all their leaves during the fall, they still act as effective windbreakers against the cold icy breeze that bis a staple during winter season.

They are also well known as agents against soil erosion. Their roots hold the soil in place, prohibiting them from being carried by the rushing gush of rain water. Some plants even have the capacity to hold a thousand gallons of water per year, effectively slowing down storm water run off.

Because trees come with many benefits, it is very important that they should be well taken care of. Humans and other species will not last longer without them, which is why people should not take them for granted. What one can do is to engage in reforestation and tree planting projects, along with pruning and trimming.

Trimming, also known as pruning, is the removal of some select parts of a plant, be it branches, twigs, leaves, even buds. It is done so that the tree does not claim a monopoly on all the sunlight and share a little bit to all the flora around it. Everybody wins.

Fruit trees also benefit a lot from pruning. It helps in the improvement of the crops that you can harvest from them. Trees that are pruned regularly have bigger, tastier, better, and more fruits than those that were not pruned at all.

Pruning makes you stay away from danger. Decaying tree parts can pose a safety threat to properties as they can fall at any given time. They might cause quite big damages not only on your properties, but upon those that belonged to the neighbors as well.

It is also conducted for aesthetic reasons. Trimmed greens are more attractive than those who are allowed to grow wild. They have a better form and a better shape. It also looks more alive because it is healthier.
