Winter Pruning — Why It’s Better Than You Think

🌳 Winter is one of the best times to prune trees. With leaves gone and pests dormant, pruning is safer, cleaner, and healthier for your trees.

Benefits of Winter Pruning

• ✂️ Better visibility — branch structure is fully exposed
• 🦠 Lower disease risk — fungi and pests are inactive
• 🌱 Stronger spring growth — pruning redirects energy
• 🧤 Safer access — frozen ground supports equipment

What Trees Benefit Most

• Maples
• Elms (outside Dutch Elm Disease restrictions)
