Tree Pruning in Winter - Finish Pruning Oaks Soon!

Mar 08, 2024      Share:  

A warmer winter and early spring leaves one to wonder...will this affect the possible spread of oak wilt disease? With the early warm spring, the risk of oak wilt transmission will soon be on the rise. DNR forest health is urging us to be safe and act swiftly to trim oak trees.

We recommend that any limb removal for ash trees, oak trees and elm trees should be done before April 1st.

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). From the Univ. of Minnesota:

"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..."
