Now is the perfect time to schedule your tree trimming services. Winter tree work is beneficial to wildfire and can also benefit several types of trees.
Caring for your trees in the winter gives you peace of mind without interrupting your summer fun, and what could be better than that?
During the winter, deciduous trees (those that lose their leaves in the fall) have gone dormant and aren't working on any new branch or leaf growth. When they are trimmed in a dormant state, they're able to focus on healing those areas without diverting energy away from new growth. Once summer arrives, your trees will be happier and healthier and ready for a new season of growth!
Once the leaves have fallen, tree care professionals have a better view of a tree's structure. This enables them to more easily see which branches are suffering from disease or damage and need to be removed, and helps them navigate the tree removal process more safely and efficiently.
The cold temperatures of winter mean many common issues trees face during the summer months from insects, bacteria, and fungi are significantly reduced. In fact, some trees, like oaks, can only be pruned in the winter due to their susceptibility to diseases like oak wilt.
