Knowing when to trim trees is important, as doing it at the right time keeps your trees healthy in the long-term. Pruning at the correct time will ensure a season of healthy growth.
When should I prune my trees? We recommend that trees can be pruned anytime between late autumn and early spring. Why should I prune my tree in the autumn/winter months? In autumn and winter, trees enter a dormant phase, halting their growth. This inactivity along with the cooler weather makes it ideal for pruning. In addition, for trees that shed their leaves in autumn, the bare branches make it easier to access and cut back. How often should a tree be pruned? Usually trees need pruning every 3 - 5 years, but this depends on the type of tree it is, its size and where it is located. What happens if I prune in the spring? If you prune after new growth has started, you can limit the plant’s bloom potential for the year. Talk to your local tree surgeon about dormant pruning and why it’s important to do before spring blooms emerge.

t's valuable that you mention that you can help protect your trees from pests by having them pruned. I want to make sure that the trees in my front yard are safe from pests, so I'm considering hiring an <a href="http://www.charlestonwvtreeservices.com"> arborist </a> to prune them this month. I'm going to look for a good arborist in the area that I can use.

Thank you for helping me understand that not all limbs on a tree are useful. I've always wondered if we should just let the trees around our property grow out as much as they want to, but this doesn't seem to be a very good idea. I'll take your word for it and look for a tree pruning expert right away and have them assist us with this.

This pruning and trellising procedure will encourage strong growth of fruiting vines but not of unnecessary foliage. Another approach, cutting down all dead and growing vines at the soil level in a clean sweep, is an easy approach, but it encourages weak bushy growth resulting in only a few berries setting very low on the plant.
