Winter is the IDEAL time to prune And Remove treesShorter days and colder temperatures means dormancy for your trees. Did you know that dormancy is the IDEAL time to prune your trees? You might think an arborist will have trouble determining which branches need to be removed when stripped of their leaves, but that isn't the case. A trained arborist can identify a live branch versus a dead branch in the winter based on which branches have buds. Buds form at the end of the summer and serve as an indicator for which branches are alive in the winter. The Benefits of Winter Tree Work:

The winter time is what becomes busy for my family and I. It's usually the time when we do a tree trimming work on both of the pine trees that we have in the backyard. We do it so that neither one of the trees overlap each other with their branches and also we do it for decorations. http://www.meadtree.com/services/tree-care.php 8/16/2015 10:48:22 pm
Thanks for sharing the the benefits of winter tree pruning, as all pruning, cutting & trimming will give them the extra space to grow in a proper manner. 2/19/2016 10:38:21 pm
These are some fantastic tips, I wouldn't have even thought about visibility being improved by the lack of leaves during the winter. I have also heard that pruning during dormancy helps to direct the trees growth as well so that you could make it miss power-lines that are nearby, is that true? Regardless, there are plenty of other good reasons you bring up to trim the tree in winter, especially the one about helping the tree fight diseases. 5/8/2016 10:33:23 am
This was a very interesting post. What many homeowners do not know is that typically tree services will have lower prices during the slower seasons. Many, that I have come in contact with, think that once the colder weather hits, you now have to wait until spring for tree care. This is not the case as mentioned above and is actually better for the tree. Thank you for sharing this post. 6/9/2016 09:22:53 am
Great post! I dont think many homeowners realize they can attend to their tree care needs in the winter. As you said it is a great time to do some tree trimming and the homeowner can save some money as it tends to be a slower time for business. 9/20/2016 04:23:59 pm
My parents tree are starting to become a danger. It was cool to learn that pruning helps to protect your trees and others. I hope that sharing this article with my parents can help to make their trees safe for their home and for others.
Excellent reading! Our company believes pruning is one of the most essential landscape practices. (Spring or winter) When pruning is done suitably, it will maintain the trees formations that were intended. The excellent pruning practice is that which achieves the desired end without destroying the natural raise decoration of the tree.

I'm getting cold just looking at what you guys have to deal with! Here in Arizona it can get chilly (believe it or not), but we don't have to deal with snow. Our trees go into a 'dormant' period during the winter, and it is important that you take precaution to ensure they will thrive in the spring, but luckily we don't have to trudge through the snow to make that happen. 10/28/2016 06:39:46 pm
So many of our clients do not think through how to take care of their trees. Thanks for the helpful advice. 10/28/2016 06:44:06 pm
This was a great article. Most people don't recognize that the best time to prune is the winter time. 12/7/2016 01:28:48 pm
I had no idea that winter pruning helps keep trees free from disease. If that's the case, then I should probably consider looking into getting my own trees pruned in the next week or two! We've been having a bit of snow lately, so I think this is the perfect time to get them cleaned up. I just need to find a professional who can prune them now. 4/23/2017 04:56:56 pm
Great article winter is a slow time of year for tree trimming services due to the lack of understanding that it is actually one of the best times to trim your trees. keep educating people :)
Hi Tree service company Logan, 8/29/2017 09:44:37 pm
My husband and I have been considering having our trees trimmed for a while now. So thank you for letting us know that if we do it during the winter, diseases won't be spread as easily. I'm sure we'll look into winter tree trimming since our trees will be less susceptible to diseases being spread. 10/4/2017 05:41:34 pm
I thought it was interesting that you mention how pruning in the winter is actually less harmful to trees. My brother is looking to prune and take out some trees soon. I'll be sure to talk to him about finding a professional tree service that can do it properly and safely. 10/18/2017 05:41:44 pm
This winter, my fiance and I are thinking that it may be a good idea hire a tree trimming service. We want our trees to be pruned during this time for convenience. Also, we like that it will allow for more precise pruning. 10/24/2017 08:46:37 pm
My wife and I are wanting to avoid our tree causing problems to our home next year when it starts to get leaves on it and drop them onto our roof and into our gutter. I liked that you had mentioned that if you get tree trimming done in the winter time it's easier to do a more precise job because the leaves won't be in the way. This is very interesting and something I wouldn't have even thought about looking into, I'll have to look into getting my tree trimmed this winter to get the job done precisely. 12/14/2017 08:27:35 pm
It was great how you said that spring is the best time for the cuts to seal after pruning and so doing the latter in the winter will help ensure better tree recovery in the spring. I guess that's enough of a reason to hire professional arborist right away. My brother has been asking me to prune the trees because the branches are making their way into his bedroom. At first, I thought that it's not healthy for the trees, but now I realized that it's for the best. Thanks! I'll get in touch with a professional right away. 12/28/2017 08:07:51 pm
We always recommend pruning in the winter time because of the fact it's a little cheaper but more-so for health concerns (disease, branches getting weak and falling over, resulting in breaks that can be prevented). Though we don't really get snow here in the So Cal flats, we stress health always and forever. 1/10/2018 10:35:52 pm
I liked that you had mentioned that it can be important to have your trees serviced in the winter because it's less harmful and does less damage overall. My wife has been worried about the growth of the trees in our yard and we haven't been sure how to go about pruning them. We'll have to start looking into hiring a professional to prune them especially since it's a lot less harmful. 2/12/2018 11:34:54 am
I didn't realize that having a tree in dormancy means that it is a good time to prune. We are in the middle of winter where we live and we have a few fruit trees that we need to trim. Hopefully, I can find a tree trimming service who can do all of that for us because I have no idea how to do it. 3/5/2018 09:14:41 am
Thank you for sharing your winter pruning tips. This was very informative. Thank you! I'm glad you mentioned that dormancy is the ideal time to prune your trees. I didn't know that it could help reduce stress and preserve the tree's health. I have been wondering when I should trim my trees. I will have to make sure that I get my tree trimmed next fall or winter. Thank you for the information! 4/19/2018 10:57:35 am
I like how you talked about the benefits of pruning your trees in winter since it's less harmful to them during their dormancy. My husband and I have several trees in our yard and want to know the best time to prune them and make sure they stay alive and healthy when we do it. Thank you for the information about how doing it in winter can help with disease management because some trees are susceptible to disease when they are leafy and get pruned. It's good to know! 4/24/2018 07:30:34 am
I thought it was really interesting that you said that a trained arborist can identify which branches are alive and dead respectively in winter. That's so crazy to me, since winter doesn't seem like it would be the best time to see that to me. I have been trying to figure out when I should get someone to come prune our trees, but since winter is over we'll have someone look at them now and then have them come back this winter. 5/4/2018 02:05:40 am
It's great to know that tree pruning during the winter is easier during the winter because there are no leaves that can get in the way of the arborist. We want to have our trees pruned to make it healthier. Knowing this, I'll have our trees scheduled for pruning in the winter so that it's easier to get the job done. 5/9/2018 06:49:49 pm
It's super interesting that pruning trees during dormancy causes less stress to a tree. My parents have a couple of really ugly looking trees that they're trying to take care of. I think that it would probably be best if they just got rid of them so they don't have to worry about pruning them anymore. Thanks for the tips! 5/21/2018 07:57:19 pm
It sure was nice to know that because pros will find it easier to see the dead branches in the winter, it is the best season to prune the trees. I wonder if the tree can wait that long because I have a feeling that it's really sick. It might be best that I still call a professional to see what can be done. If they confirm that the pruning can wait, then I will. Thank you for sharing. 7/31/2018 02:33:48 pm
It's cool that tree pruning in winter causes less harm, as the tree is in a dormant state. I have a giant tree in my yard, and it really needs to be trimmed. Do you have any tips for choosing a great tree service in my area? 8/4/2018 12:14:17 am
I liked it when you said that pruning the trees during the winter season is better because it reduces the chance of disease being caught and spread. I was actually planning to have the trees pruned later this month, so I am glad that I came across this article. If waiting until the winter will ensure that I won't have problems, then I will. Aside from that, maybe I can ask for discounts from the arborist. Anyway, thanks! 10/18/2018 11:40:06 pm
Such a simple concept yet so easily overlooked. Here in minnesota, we ALWAYS prune our trees in the winter as well in order to ensure that they thrive in the spring. Great share. 11/7/2018 05:02:17 pm
Wow, I had no idea that there were so many benefits to trimming your trees during the winter. It is especially surprising to me to learn that it is actually less harmful. Although, I suppose that that does make sense since the tree is dormant and not actually growing during the winter. 11/16/2018 10:33:16 am
HI Duncan Lance, 11/16/2018 08:17:07 pm
I just moved into a house that has a lot of trees on the property. It is good to know that pruning will help control disease in my trees. It might be a good idea for me to get a professional to help me out. 1/16/2019 02:36:03 pm
It's good to know that tree pruning during the winter can cause less stress to a tree, like you said. I actually didn't know that. I might have to look into doing that this winter instead of waiting until the spring or summer. That could help me be prepared and have less work to do this spring too. 1/29/2019 01:48:03 am
Thank you for the tree care tips on the benefits of winter tree pruning. Such an useful information. Keep on sharing. 2/19/2019 12:47:48 pm
Hi Gary Puntman, Thanks for letting me know that winter can provide a day for trees and it's the best time to prune them. I like how you pointed out the benefits fo tree pruning during winter time. My husband and I area always away during summer and spring, an nd the only time that we are here is during winter. Since you've educated me about the advantage of pruning trees in the winter, then we will do this next time. Thanks!

Hi Marissa! The best way to get a quote is to fill out our contact form: 4/26/2019 02:13:52 pm
Thank you for explaining that winter is one of the best times to hire a tree trimming service because it causes less stress to a tree and you can be more precise when there are no leaves in the way. It would be good to keep that in mind for the end of this year, but it looks like my fruit trees need to be trimmed now. I would like to make sure that we still get a good crop of fruits in, so I'll look into a quality tree trimming service in my area. 6/19/2019 01:16:06 pm
Thanks for explaining that having tree work done in the winter reduces the impact and damage to your lawn. My husband and I just bought a house with lots of trees in the yard. Your article helped me see why it's important to hire tree trimming services year-round. 6/21/2019 09:31:55 pm
Thank you for the article about how winter pruning is beneficial. I have a tree that could really use a good trimming. I will be sure to remember to keep up the maintenance after I hire a professional to take care of it now. 7/26/2019 05:06:16 pm
My brother has a tree in his front yard that he would like to get trimmed so it stays healthy. It could be helpful to get a professional to prune it for him. I like what you said about how winter is the ideal time to prune because the tree is dormant. 7/30/2019 01:59:10 pm
Thank you for explaining the benefits of trimming your trees in the winter. We want to take good care of our trees during the winter. We will look into getting them trimmed in the winter. 8/21/2019 12:14:00 pm
I'm glad how you mentioned that pruning trees in the winter can save it from getting diseases.

I'll make sure to keep this in mind when winter comes and I want to hire a professional tree pruning service. 9/12/2019 02:20:05 pm
I did not know the fact that pruning during dormancy causes less stress to a tree. My mom told me that she need help to fix the trees she has in her backyard. I will call a professional tree company to go to my mom's house and get those trees trimmed. 9/19/2019 11:38:16 am
I found it interesting when you said that a trained arborist can identify a live branch versus a dead branch in the winter based on which branches have buds. My friend has a huge tree in his backyard and he says that he would like to take care of it. I will recommend him to contact a professional to make sure he does not suffer any injury and that also the tree gets proper care. 9/24/2019 04:14:35 am

You may be feeling some relief as you're cleaning up your lawn and garden beds for the last time and putting your tools to rest. No more shrub pruning, no more weeding, no more cursing at the rabbits for munching on your prized veggies. 10/14/2019 05:45:16 pm
I love your tip about how beneficial winter tree work is to the live trees and how it de-stresses them. My backyard has a lot of trees in it and I can't get around to pruning them. Because of this, I will have to get a professional to prune it. 10/16/2019 02:18:41 pm
I had no idea that pruning during the winter caused less stress to the tree. I have a couple of trees in my backyard that are dead or dying and I want them removed. I wonder if it will be easier to remove them in the winter or in the summer. 10/28/2019 09:33:07 am
That's cool that for living trees the winter is less stressful. My apple trees haven't been producing what I'd like them to over the past few years. I'll have to look further into tree trimming options. 10/29/2019 11:58:44 am
My sister wants to have her tree trimmed because the branches are starting to hang lowly, and she told me that her lower floor is starting to have branches sticking at its window as well. Thanks for informing me that she should have her tree trimmed during the dormancy period to make sure that she's not harming her tree. I think she should hire someone to trim the tree for her so she can make sure that it will be done correctly. 11/4/2019 03:51:30 pm
My dad is going to leave tree pruning for after winter. I like how you mentioned that spring is the best time for cuts to seal after pruning. Thank you for the information. I'll recommend my dad to hire a professional to prune his trees so they can be healthy. 11/7/2019 09:55:56 pm

I have been thinking of having the tall, big trees in our backyard to be trimmed this coming winter season. It was interesting to read that a trained arborist can distinguish a live branch and a dead branch, to easily see the structure of the tree without any leaves. Hence, it is highly recommended to hire a professional for proper tree cutting services. 12/7/2019 09:45:35 am

Hiring an arborist who can easily take care of your trees, especially during winter, so that you won't need to worry about them, seems very convenient. My brother has a couple of oak trees on his new property, but he's not sure how to take care of them. I'll suggest that he reach out to one of these experts for help. 2/19/2021 04:39:07 pm
My cousin has been thinking about getting her tree removed because it looks like it might have a diseased tree. She would really like to get some help from a professional to make sure that it won't spread to other trees. I'll be sure to tell her about how she should get it removed in the winter because it won't have as much impact on the lawn, and it is easier to see the structure of the tree. 2/21/2021 12:46:07 pm

My wife and I have been talking about getting our trees trimmed for months now. I thought we'd need to wait until the Spring. However, you mentioned that it is less stressful on the tree when it is dormant during the winter. I'll see what she thinks about getting it done sometime this coming week before the Spring starts. 5/17/2021 03:35:42 pm
Great Information. I like the way you explain the article. Thank you for sharing this information. <a href="https://palmspringslandscape.com/">palm springs landscaping</a> 5/24/2021 11:27:00 pm
I appreciated it when you shared that it is great to hire a reliable service that can help prune your trees in the winter in order to reduce the susceptibility and the spread of disease. My aunt just mentioned the other day that she is worried about the trees in her lawn as they look unkept as she does not have time to maintain them. I will suggest to her looking for a reliable service that can prune them. 6/7/2021 02:16:08 pm
It never would have occurred to me that pruning trees during winter can cause them less stress because they are dormant. I would think that pruning a tree during summer would cause it harm because it is actively trying to grow. It might depend on the type of tree as well, so it might be a good idea to consult with an arborist before doing anything. 6/27/2021 08:24:11 pm
Excellent. This article helps me a lot very informative and useful for us. Anyway, I wanna share Genuine Haarlem Oil capsules a food supplements for human and animals. It also contain antioxidant ingredients to help fighting against diseases. Btw. I will share your article on my social media accounts. God Bless!

Thanks for pointing out that tree pruning can reduce susceptibility and the spread of disease. My husband and I are getting worried about the trees in our backyard because we have five playful kids.

I'm going to look for a good provider of tree pruning services in my area to hire. 12/21/2021 01:21:48 am
I really like how you explained how trees are much more dormant during the winter season, thus making it better to trim them during that time. I've been very appreciative of my trees lately, and I can see why they would be a great thing to have around. I'll make sure they stay healthy by taking this time to have a tree service help me with some trimming. 1/7/2022 10:57:49 pm

It's interesting to know that tree pruning will be able to keep them from being susceptible to diseases, especially when they are oaks and elms. We have an oak tree in the backyard ever since we moved into this house two years ago. I should probably hire a professional to get it checked and maintained this month, because I have never done that ever since we moved here. 7/19/2022 10:51:04 pm
I really appreciate you talking about what tree trimming can do if you do it for dormant seasons. Making it less stressful for my trees could really help them grow and stay healthy without tiring themselves out in the middle of a hot part of the year. As soon as things cool down around this area, I'll ask a tree service to help out with some pruning. 9/6/2022 06:14:21 pm
It's interesting when you said that arborists could help identify the health of the branches of your trees. Last week, my wife told me that she planned to have the tree in our house removed because it is too close to our home. She asked if I had any idea what could be the best option for safety purposes. Thanks to this instructive article, I'll be sure to consult trusted tree removal services as they can provide preventative measures. 11/11/2022 12:03:02 pm
Thanks for mentioning that winter tree work is less stressful because the tree is dormant. My husband and I have three trees in our backyard that need to be trimmed. I was thinking about waiting until Spring, but after reading this I'll definitely have it done during the winter. 1/3/2023 01:02:02 pm
I like that you mentioned how getting tree work can help in the recovery of trees in winter. My husband and I have a diseased tree in our yard that needs to be trimmed and treated. I should look for tree pruning services in our area that would do these to reduce the likelihood of our tree's disease spreading. 3/18/2023 02:44:25 am
Winter is an ideal time to prune and remove trees due to the decreased level of sap flow in deciduous trees. During winter, the energy stored in the tree is low, as photosynthesis is reduced due to lower temperatures and shorter daylight hours.
