Winter Pruning 

Now that the holidays are over, it is time to get on our pruning schedule. We are happy to help take care of business in the landscape. Let's make your plants healthy for 2018!

Benefits of Pruning in the Winter

When plants are dormant, pruning is less stressful on the plants, promotes healthy growth and helps facilitate good branch structure.

There are no leaves, which makes it easier to see the shape of the tree.

It improves air circulation within the canopy of the tree to reduce possible fungal issues.

What We Are Likely To Do 

Clean up dead wood

Remove crossing or rubbing branches

Restore structure and form of trees and shrubs that had been pruned badly

Plants That Benefit From Winter Pruning

Maples, rhododendrons, styrax, stewartia, fruit trees and other deciduous trees
