Pruning is an operation that consists of cutting certain dead or living branches (limbing) from a tree to direct or limit its development1. Ornamental arboriculture is generally called pruning. A distinction is made between silvicultural pruning, fruit pruning and ornamental pruning.

Pruning is also a natural biological process of abandoning branches, or sometimes part of the crown (crown descent), in order to optimize the tree’s resources and energy expenditure, a process called natural pruning2. It is the process of selecting the branches of a tree, without any human intervention, due climatic events, lack of light, water, or the action of specialized saprophytic mushrooms.
