All pruning is not the same. There are multiple ways to prune trees and any time you make a cut, it’s considered pruning. Unlike regular pruning which focuses on aesthetics or removing dead branches, structural pruning is all about shaping a tree's framework for future growth. It's kind of like training a young puppy - by addressing potential problems early on, you can ensure a strong and healthy adult tree and hopefully avoid problems that can turn dangerous in the future.
