Pruning is essential for keeping trees healthy, safe, and beautifully shaped. While it may not need to be a regular chore, doing it at the right time is crucial – pruning at the wrong moment can drain a tree’s energy, jeopardize its health, and make it vulnerable to disease. Most deciduous trees fare best when pruned during their dormant season, from late fall to late winter, but even then, there are specific periods that are particularly risky.
