In the winter months we normally don’t think about pruning trees. But this is one of the best times to prune. A few reasons why are listed below. If your trees are in need of this service please contact me.

1. Better growth response- pruning while the tree is dormant allows the tree to direct it’s sap to the proper branches come springtime.

2. Disease management- pruning during the winter months reduces the chance of spreading diseases through the pruning cuts.

3. Visible branches- winter pruning allows me to view of the branches without the leaves blocking my view. This allows me to make better decisions when selecting which branches to remove.
