In spring, trees push out new growth and recover from winter. That makes it a great time for maintenance and light pruning. You should remove dead, diseased and broken branches as soon as you notice them, especially after an active winter.
1. Spring Tree Maintenance and Inspections
Much like your car, your home’s air conditioning system, or your own body, trees also require routine inspections and maintenance. Spring is the best time for these checks.
2. Necessary Tree Trimming
Winter weather and swinging temperatures in late winter and early spring can seriously harm your trees. These harsh conditions can leave their limbs and branches weak. If you leave them alone, those weak branches can become a serious hazard in strong winds and storms. Fortunately, warm spring weather is the perfect time to remove these hazards and let the tree recover and grow.
3. Tree Removal When It’s the Only Option
Treat tree removal as a last resort, not the first solution for a damaged tree. In fact, many trees damaged last winter can still recover with the right care.
However, sometimes the damage is so severe that the tree cannot be saved. When a tree’s structure is that weak, it becomes a hazard, and removal may be your only option. In that case, spring is the best time to do it.
