Fall Tree & Shrub Health Update 2023
During the transition to autumn, implementing certain management practices can provide support for our landscape plants and tree maintenance, as the days become shorter and cooler. Here’s our annual Fall Tree Update to help guide you in supporting your trees and shrubs throughout fall and winter 2023.
1. Pruning enhances tree health:
The best time to prune trees depends on the specific type of tree and its growth patterns. However, as a general guideline, it is recommended to prune deciduous trees (trees that lose their leaves in the winter) during their dormant season, which is typically in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Pruning during this time allows the tree to heal and recover before it starts producing new leaves and branches.
