The City of Miami adopted a Tree Master Plan, which aims to increase the tree canopy to 30% by
2017. The Grove Tree -Man Trust has been serving the City of Miami since 1995. Proper pruning
benefits a tree: improving its health, controlling its growth, and enhancing its ability to bear fruit and
flowers. Pruning is also necessary to remove weak, diseased or dead limbs, to remove crowded or
rubbing limbs, and to eliminate hazards. This grant is in line with the Tree Master Plan, allowing for
proper tree trimmings in the City of Miami.
