Fixing a Tree's Structure Before It Becomes a Problem
Many trees that fail in storms had a structural problem for years: two trunks competing for the top, branches growing at tight angles, or limbs that grew too long and heavy. Corrective trimming fixes those problems early, while the tree is young enough to grow into a stronger shape.
McCullough Tree Service's ISA-certified arborists plan corrective pruning for young and mature trees across Longwood and Central Florida.
What Corrective Trimming Fixes
- Co-dominant stems: two leaders of similar size competing for the top
- Branches with tight, V-shaped unions that can split
- Crossing and rubbing branches
- Limbs growing toward the house, the roof or power lines
- Damage from past topping or poor pruning
Done Over Time, Not All at Once
A tree can only lose so much of its canopy at once without stress. We correct structure gradually, often over two or three visits a few years apart, which is why corrective trimming fits well into a tree care plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is corrective pruning?
Pruning that improves a tree's structure, such as reducing a competing leader or a weak branch, so it grows stronger.
What age tree benefits most?
Young trees respond best, but mature trees with weak structure can also be improved.
Can corrective trimming fix a topped tree?
It can improve it over several years by selecting new leaders and removing weak sprouts.
How much will you remove?
Only what the tree can handle at once. Our arborists plan the work in stages when needed.
