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 can be understood as a process of selection of the branches of a tree without human intervention, due to climatic events, by lack of light or water, and/or by the action of specialized saprophytic fungi.
