We are ramping up for a very busy winter special services schedule. If you are interested in fall cleanup, mulching or winter pruning, now is the time to get your estimate.
Benefits of pruning in the winter
When plants are dormant, pruning is less stressful on the plants.
There are no leaves, which makes it easier to see the shape of the tree.
Winter pruning promotes healthy growth and helps facilitate good branch structure. Pruning also improves air circulation within the canopy of the tree to reduce possible fungal disease problems.
What we are likely to do
Clean up dead wood.
Remove crossing or rubbing branches.
Restore structure and form of trees and shrubs that have been poorly pruned.
Plants that benefit from winter pruning
Maples, rhododendrons, styrax, stewartia, fruit trees and other deciduous trees.
