Best Time For Tree Pruning

tree pruning
Our arborists suggest that tree pruning should take place during multiple occasions throughout the year. Pruning is a definite must during the winter when trees are dormant, but spring is also a good time to complete this task. Of course, the trees adapt to the local weather just as we do. So when it turns from fall to winter, winter to spring, spring to summer, and summer to fall, you’ll notice changes in your landscape. Often the most obvious of these changes are when the leaves change colors in the fall, when trees lose their leaves in the winter, and the return of green at the first sign of spring.
 
Aside from these obvious transformations, your trees always change in ways you can’t see. For example, the majority of a tree’s growth period takes place throughout the spring and summer. This is when the sun is bright and conditions are just right. During this time, pruning must be done very carefully and very deliberately. This is due to the fact that trees are more vulnerable to injury and damage during these seasons. Technically speaking, any cut is an injury to a tree—even if it is performed intentionally during pruning. Because the trees are in their growth period, they don’t have as much energy to heal following pruning as they would when they are dormant.

Tree Pruning

​As we’ve touched on, during the winter your trees are dormant, which means that are done growing for the time being. Instead, all of their energy can be focused on other things—such as healing. When pruning takes place during this time, it create space for new growth to begin once the weather warms back up. This is vital because trees, just like people, need room to grow. It’s important that their branches are not too cluttered or crossing over one another. There should be adequate space for sunlight and air to circulate through the limbs.
 
We know that with so many different forms of pruning and so many different opportunities to prune throughout the seasons, it can be difficult to actually decide when to take action. Luckily, the only action you need to take as a homeowner or business owner is a quick call to our team. Then, we will take care of the rest—we’ll evaluate your property and schedule our pruning services accordingly.
