How to prune a tree safely?

Safe tree pruning requires expertise and specialized equipment. It's highly recommended to hire a certified arborist for anything beyond minor pruning. Never attempt to prune trees that are tall, near structures, power lines, or otherwise pose a safety hazard. If you must do some minor pruning, such as cutting off small dead branches, follow these steps:
  1. Use sharp, clean tools: Dull tools can cause tearing or crushing of the branches and increase the risk of disease.
  2. Wear safety gear: Protective clothing, eye protection, and gloves are crucial.
  3. Inspect the tree: Identify the branches that need pruning, such as dead or damaged branches.
  4. Use proper pruning techniques: Make clean cuts, following the branch collar. Don't remove too much of the crown in a single session.
  5. Dispose of the branches responsibly: Chip the debris or dispose of it according to local guidelines.
It is recommended to consult with a qualified arborist for advice on tree trimming.

What is the best time of year to trim trees?

The best time to trim trees depends on several factors:
  • Tree Species: Deciduous trees (those that lose their leaves in the fall) are generally best pruned during their dormant season, from late fall to early spring, as this minimizes stress. Evergreens may tolerate pruning throughout the year, but light pruning in spring is ideal.
  • Type of Pruning: Some pruning can be done to remove deadwood or address specific issues during the growing season; however, this should be minor pruning.
  • Local Climate: Consider extreme heat or cold, as these can affect the tree's healing ability. Avoid pruning during periods of extreme temperatures or dry spells.

It's always recommended to consult with a certified arborist to determine the ideal timing for your specific trees and your local climate.
