How do you know when to trim your trees?
Once again, it is important to do your research to know when the best time of year is to trim your trees. You do not want to trim your trees in the middle of their growing season, but rather when they are in a dormant state. Here’s a few tips on when to trim your trees:
- Different types of trees need to be trimmed at different times of the year.
- The best time to trim your trees in spring or fall.
- If your trees are sun and frost sensitive, make sure you do not remove too much of the foliage.
- You should never do “Lions tailing” or “topping” to your trees.
Pruning
When pruning make sure to prune all branches four feet growing towards the center of the tree. Be certain to always cut back to a larger branch of the trunk, cut to see through the branches not to see over them. Branches that need to be cut are dead, the ones that cross each other, and that rub against the trunk of the tree.
Trimming Crowns
All trees have crowns, and they sit on top of the tree like a crown, but with leaves instead of fancy jewels. The leaves at the top of the tree help with photosynthesis. A crown will adapt to the environment most commonly the environment in your yard, depending on how far it can grow. Having too big of a crown on your tree is NOT a good thing. Hiring a professional tree trimmer is best, because they are trained to know how to trim the crown so your trees can grow and strive.
