The holiday season is a time for joy, celebration, and tree care. Most trees in our area are deciduous, so they lose their leaves in the fall. Pruning your trees while they are dormant is the healthiest option. It gives you an opportunity to cut them back without disrupting their growth or interfering with other vital processes. You can also protect your property by eliminating flimsy branches before the worst winter weather strikes your home. If you want healthy and attractive trees, prune them during the holidays.
1. Facilitate Precise Pruning
It is crucial to trim trees to remove weak, diseased, and dead branches. Our team always begins the process by carefully examining each tree to identify those sections. Unfortunately, flowers and leaves can get in our way during the spring. You can make our job significantly easier by making an appointment in the fall. Your trees will have bare branches, so we will have a clear view of bark and limbs. That will maximize our precision and ensure that your trees get the care they deserve.
2. Encourage Rapid Recovery
Regular pruning is essential for most trees, but it can also be stressful for them. The fall and winter create the perfect conditions for their recovery. Trees do not grow during the coldest parts of the year, so they can dedicate all their energy to healing. While a few pests may be active, most will be dormant, which provides extra protection for your trees. Those factors will help them recover after you trim their branches.
3. Promote Vigorous Growth
All trees have a limited amount of energy. All the branches, even the ones that are sick or dying, consume` some of that energy. If we remove those branches from your trees, they will redirect the energy to the healthy ones. Doing so during the fall or winter will prevent your trees from wasting energy and encourage growth in the spring. It is one of the simplest ways to strengthen your trees.
4. Protect Yourself From Storms
Snow is a fact of life in our area. While healthy trees can usually tolerate blizzards, heavy snowfall can easily damage unhealthy specimens. Strong winds can also break branches and send debris flying across your property. Those pieces of wood can damage vehicles, shatter windows, and injure people. If you want to protect yourself, you need to remove those dangerous branches before they break. In most cases, that means calling a tree trimming team in the fall or early winter.
The holiday season is one of the best times to prune your trees. Removing dead or damaged branches will prevent accidents and help the trees thrive in the spring. Our team can handle the whole process for you. We will discuss your goals, assess your trees, and carefully trim them.
