Tree Pruning During the Right Time

Many property owners when it is the right time to perform some quality tree pruning to the trees in their landscape. The right time depends largely on the reason why you prune in the first place.  Like you probably already know, light running can be done at any time and so can the removal of wood. If you are not interested in light pruning though, here is what you need to know:

Pruning During Winter

One of the most common practices is to perform tree pruning during a state of dormancy. Whenever you prune during winter, there is an increase in growth during spring. Though winter pruning is ideal, remember to let the coldest time of the season pass first.

Pruning During Summer

If you desire is to slow down the growth process of branches, then the pruning ought to be done right after seasonal growth is complete. What causes the tree growing process to slow down is that you reduce the leaf surface thus reducing the food manufactured and sent to the trees’ roots. You can also prune during summer for corrective purposes.

Never Perform Pruning During Autumn

Never prune during fall- never. Fall is when fungi spreads and the wounds on trees take a lot of time to heal. During the autumn season, it is better to just leave the pruning tools in the shed.
