The dormant season is here, which makes it the perfect time to evaluate and inspect the structure of our woody companions.  Some essential maintenance or a soil analysis may be needed during these colder months to take advantage of our trees’ natural ‘sleep’ cycle. Timing your tree maintenance this way will help them better manage their energy resources during this year’s growing season.

Pruning

Consider pruning out dead or diseased limbs that may pose a hazard during a wind storm and to reduce the overall weight of your tree's crown. Proper seasonal timing and pruning practices can help improve your tree's overall health and longevity.

Look for signs of structural defects and disease that may be an indication of declining health.

Supplemental Support

If your tree has a structrual defect or a condition that may pose a risk of failure, installing a supplemental support system can often reduce that risk. This is especially important for large high value trees with structural defects that are within target range of buildings or high traffic areas.
