Many times, trees are overlooked in the landscape because you don’t look up! Trees are an important part of our landscape and can beautify your property if correctly cared for. Indefinitely, trees need to be maintained to create a safe, healthy, and attractive canopy.
When trees are young, it is much easier and therefore less expensive to prune (remove) potential future hazards such as weak branch attachments and co-dominant leaders. As trees mature, they need to be evaluated for potential structural defects that could cause harm to people or property and pruned by certified arborists.
Through proper pruning techniques, your trees can have a beautiful, safe canopy that can showcase your home’s landscape. Remember, there are only a few things that gain value as they age – classic cars and trees! Protect your investment with proper maintenance. Top 8 Reasons to Prune in the Winter
1. The tree is dormant which decreases potential stress to the tree.
2. It is easy to identify the tree’s structure and true form, since it's bare.
3. Less cleanup with no leaves on the tree!
4. Diseases and pests are not a problem. It's way too cold for them!
5. It’s easy to identify dead branches that need to be removed.
6. It helps spread out financial obligations to maintain your property (not all costs have to happen in the summer months).
7. It keeps arborists, like me, busy!
8. And the most important? Prune your oaks in the winter to stop the spread of oak wilt! Whatever you do, never prune in April, May or June!
