Winter Pruning 

We are currently scheduling winter pruning for November through February 2017. 

 

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.

We look forward to talking with you and helping you keep your trees helping.
