Top Tips for Better Tree Pruning
Want healthier, better-looking trees? Follow these key pruning tips:
- Prune at the Right Time
Late winter or early spring is ideal for most trees—before new growth starts and when the tree is still dormant. - Use the Right Tools
Sharp, clean tools (like bypass pruners or pruning saws) make clean cuts that heal faster and reduce disease risk. - Remove the 3 D’s First
Start by cutting out Dead, Diseased, or Damaged branches. - Avoid Over-Pruning
Don’t remove more than 25% of the tree’s canopy in one season—it can stress the tree. - Mind the Branch Collar
When cutting, don’t leave stubs—cut just outside the branch collar (the swollen area where the branch meets the trunk) for proper healing. - Shape Naturally
Follow the tree’s natural shape—don’t try to force it into unnatural forms. - Stay Safe
Don’t prune near power lines or climb without proper gear. When in doubt, call a certified arborist.
Healthy trees start with smart cuts. Prune wisely!
