Winter Tree Pruning - Often we do not think about pruning our trees in the winter. Trees are the last thing on our mind. It is a cold time of year with short days and we spend less time in the yard. However winter can be the most advantageous time of year to prune large shade trees and ornamental trees.

Training Young Trees - It is best to start training pruning as early in a trees life time as possible. However a tree should be planted three years in the landscape before any training pruning takes place. The dormant season is the best time to train young trees, unless you are only removing dead, dying, or diseased branches.
