Pruning your trees is the process of removing excess branches and altering the tree so that it promotes the growth of the plant. This is known as preventative maintenance, as it can ensure that your plant will grow in the way it was supposed to grow. Pruning is typically seen as an activity that just makes your yard look better, but there are actual reasons for pruning trees. Let’s look at these reasons and the times of year that you can begin this service.
Health: Pruning trees is crucial to the health of your trees. It is important to get all the dead items off the tree so that it can grow out during the time the growth will occur. We will go into this a little bit later.
Safety: Safety is crucially important when it comes to your trees. By pruning, you make sure that there are no dead items left that could potentially fall and hurt anyone.
When Is Best to Prune?
Spring: Springtime is the perfect time to prune, as, in the wintertime, a lot of trees have appendages that die off and need to be trimmed.
Summer: This season, summer, is perfect to trim trees that will start to bloom in the Fall. By cutting back the trees, you allow for the trees to have the room they need to flower and blossom in the fall.
Winter: Trimming back trees in late winter is the best way to ensure that your trees will be in full bloom during the spring.
