When our hair gets long, it does affect how people see us. It can easily be unkempt, dirty, oily, become knotted, and all around just be a dirty look for some. Overgrown hair can also make an attractive person less desirable, hiding once sought after features and instead covering them with a curtain fall of hair. For the long-haired person, the new addition requires much more upkeep and maintenance. Compared to short hair, longer hair takes longer to clean, more effort to keep clean, and is a lot harder to style consistently. In addition to all of these problems, the shedding is another issue that affects them and everyone around them. For partners, it can lead to disputes, and for everyone else, well no one wants to have hair trails left on couches or in blankets. So, to avoid these annoyances, it is best to make sure your hair is tidy and well-maintained, at the very least.
Now, this same mentality can be easily applied to tree trimming. An important part of tree health, tree trimming helps maintain the safety of the tree and the surrounding environment. By removing dead, diseased, or overgrown branches, trimming helps improve the trees structure, encouraging better growth and reducing the damage during storms. Even when storms are not an issue, trimming helps with air circulation and more importantly, sunlight penetration, which can help health and growth of the tree. Above all, however, trimming helps to shape the tree, making sure that they do not grow too close to buildings, powerlines, or other important structures that can be damaged by pointy branches or tree debris.
Beyond the functional purposes of tree trimming, it also helps to improve the aesthetic features of the area. Much like how a nice haircut can bring forth some compliments, a well-trimmed tree can greatly improve an area, bringing more visitors and accentuating the features of the tree and area it brightens. While reducing excess branches are the reason for tree trimming, it also creates balance within the tree, allowing it to become harmonious with its surroundings, much like how different haircuts can help people appear more defined and sleek.
