A lot of people believe that trees can not be removed or pruned during the cold bitter months of winter. The good news is that this is the farthest thing from the truth. Cold weather won’t damage trees, so winter is one of the greatest times of the year to implement tree care (so long as you can bear the cold!).
However, if the cold isn’t for you, we highly recommend you hire a team such as ours here at Five Star. That way, you can stay warm while our arborist’s expertise is put to good use. Not only that, but hiring a company ensures safety is of top priority, and that you or your loved ones don't end up getting hurt. Keep reading for a few reasons why pruning or removing your trees during winter is a good idea.
Proper Tree Assessment
During the winter, it is easier to assess and examine the limbs and tree structure while there are no leaves to block the view. When there is less distraction, a more accurate diagnosis can be made. This allows pruning to be more precise and tree removal to be completed more efficiently.
Freeze the Disease
There is always a chance of spreading fungus, bugs, or disease when a tree is pruned or removed. In the winter, most fungus and bugs are inactive, so they are less likely to spread to other trees during pruning. There is also less sap flowing in trees, which helps reduce the number of insects that will be attracted to the scent.
Heal Wounds More Efficiently
Winter pruning is beneficial because there is a much smaller risk of any cuts getting infected on trees. When a tree enters the dormant stage of its life-cycle, it produces less sap and consumes a smaller amount of nutrients. Winter pruning can also make the budding stage much more effective by reducing the strain on the tree and allowing for healthier new growth.
Easier to Schedule
Most property owners skip the winter months when it comes to tree care, which means there are often more specialists available. It is much easier to select a time that is convenient for you when there are more time slots to choose from. The work will also go much quicker thanks to winter pruning teams boasting more members working on each job.
Flower & Ground Damage Prevention
Many flowers and plants hibernate during the winter months. This will keep them safe from damage when your trees are being removed or pruned in the winter. Also, if you are having a tree removed, it is less likely to damage the ground during the winter due to the ground being much harder. This keeps the machinery safe as well as your yard.
