1. Overgrowth

Pruning not only improves the look of the tree by removing dead and unwieldy branches but it also encourages a healthier production of fruits and/or flowers.

2. Safety

Avoid damage or injury dangerous trees can cause near your home. Damage from a large branch can cost more than investing in professional tree care. Look to see if branches are becoming close to electrical lines. Make sure that your trees are not blocking the view of traffic.

3. Health

Dead or diseased branches can make a tree unhealthy. Pruning encourages healthy and strong tree growth by opening up the canopy to let light and air filter throughout a tree. A strong, healthy tree is better able to withstand high winds and storms.

When is the Best Time of Year to Prune a Tree?

According to Fiskars, “There is never a bad time to remove dead, damaged or diseased branches. But most trees benefit from pruning in mid to late winter. Pruning during dormancy encourages new growth as soon as the weather begins to warm. The lack of leaves after autumn allows you to easily identify branches and limbs requiring removal.”
