Prune Trees in Spring!

Posted by landscapeartisan on February 13, 2009

Spring is around the corner. Don’t wait to prune your trees.

Make sure you prune any Oak trees now before the warm weather hits. Oaks should not be pruned in warm / hot weather or when the sap is running.  Oak trees can get Oak Wilt  if they are pruned in the wrong time.

Ornamental trees are much easier to prune when the leaves are off as you can see the structure of the tree. Take the time to study the structure of the tree then remove the unwanted vertical branches.

For weeping trees prune the lower branches up off the ground, thinning as you go.
