It may be winter but your trees still need TLC. Although trees and bushes have gone dormant, now is one of the best times to prune. Your trees, especially Pines, will benefit from dormant pruning. Removing dead wood, diseased and unsafe branches will help prevent future storm damage that could injure the tree or surrounding buildings. Pruning while trees are dormant will allow wound sites to heal before spring when insects re-appear. This will also allow your trees and shrubs to focus new growth to only the healthy limbs.

Make sure that your tree is evaluated by a Certified Arborist who is trained and experienced in dormant pruning. Remove the potential for storm damage and request an estimate for dormant tree and shrub pruning.
