Wat kost het snoeien van mijn 15 jaar oude appelboom in Amsterdam? Loont het zelf doen?

by AstraNL Communityâ–² 01 views

Mijn appelboom in de achtertuin wordt steeds wilder en geeft minder fruit. Hij is behoorlijk groot (ongeveer 6 meter hoog). Ik heb wat YouTube-filmpjes gezien, maar ik ben bang dat ik het verkeerd doe en de boom beschadig. Moet ik een professionele boomverzorger inhuren of kan ik dit beter zelf doen?

Professional pruning of a mature fruit tree like yours typically costs €150–€400 in the Amsterdam region, depending on the tree's size, density, and whether branches overhang neighbors or utilities. A 15-year-old apple tree usually needs structural pruning every 2–3 years to maintain health and yield. DIY pruning risks: incorrect cuts can invite disease, poor regrowth, or unbalanced weight distribution. Unless you're experienced with hand saws and understand fruit-tree biology, hiring a certified boomverzorger (arborist) is safer and saves the tree's long-term productivity. They'll also remove debris and safely handle thick branches.
