WINTER - A GREAT TIME TO CARE FOR YOUR TREES

Tree Care in Winter Our winter tree removal and pruning program will begin after the first of the year. This is an ideal time to have your trees and shrubs maintained. For example, pruning the larger trees in perennial gardens at this time makes clean-up easier and less injurious to herbaceous plants. Typically, the winter ground will harden, enabling our trucks and equipment to maneuver without damaging the surface soil. For many trees and shrubs, the winter dormant season is the best time to prune. Without the presence of leaves, it is easier to see the branch structure and create a more attractive shape. Dormant pruning reduces the damage caused by insects and diseases. Deadwood, without the presence of healthy buds, is more easily recognized during winter pruning. Pruning wounds will close over or compartmentalize sooner when the plant awakens in the spring.
