Choose the season according to the tree

Many structural and maintenance pruning jobs are best carried out during the cooler months or toward the end of winter. Heavy pruning during intense summer heat can expose and weaken a tree.

Dry, broken or dangerous branches may need earlier attention. Fruit trees, ornamental trees and palms should not all be treated in the same way.

Winter

Often suitable for structural, cleaning and formative pruning.

Spring

Light corrections may be possible, but active growth should be respected.

Summer

Usually limited to dry branches, hazards and careful light work.
