Have Your Trees Pruned Before Winter Ends

Dec 21, 2022      Share:  

Let the certified arborists at Pioneer Tree Service trim and prune your Oak, Elm and Ash trees while the outside temperatures are optimal and these trees are still in their dormant time of year. During this time, the spread of disease will be reduced because the wounds creating by pruning will be exposed for a minimal amount of time, and your healthy trees will provide shade and cover for decades to come.

Promote Optimal Tree Health With Winter Pruning

The University of Minnesota recommends late winter tree pruning, especially for Oak, Ash and Elm Trees (visit https://www.extension.umn.edu/garden/yard-garden/trees-shrubs/pruning-trees-shrubs/#timing for more information).

"The late dormant season is best for most pruning. Pruning in late winter, just before spring growth starts, leaves fresh wounds exposed for only a short length of time before new growth begins the wound sealing process. Another advantage of dormant pruning is that it's easier to make pruning decisions without leaves obscuring plant branch structure. Pruning at the proper time can avoid certain disease and physiological problems..."
