As temperatures drop and leaves fall, your tree’s structure is fully revealed making it easier to spot and address potential issues. Pruning during the dormant season offers many advantages, including:
- Safer healing: Less risk of bug and disease infestation during colder seasons, as the cuts your trees sustain have a lower risk of becoming infected.
- Stronger structure: Removes weak and overcrowded limbs and promotes a stronger overall tree structure.
- Better accuracy: When a tree’s architecture is visible, your arborist can make better-informed decisions and precise cuts to improve safety.
- Future foliage control: Dormant pruning sets the stage for balanced growth and a healthier canopy when spring arrives.
Pruning now corrects existing problems and also prevents future damage.
