HERE’S WHY:
DISEASE CONTROL
• Fresh cuts during dormant- season are less likely to attract disease-carrying insects and spread bacteria.
WEATHER PREP
Removing weak or damaged limbs leave the tree stronger for severe winter weather.
IMPROVED HEALING
Winter pruning causes less stress on trees and allows for robust new growth in the spring.
PRECISION PRUNING
•Leafless structures are easier to see, providing a good way to determine healthy branch structure.
MORE EFFICIENT
• Access is often easier and potentially less damaging to delicate landscaping plantings.
OPENS SUNLIGHT
Pruning is beneficial to grass and plants because it opens sunlight through the canopy.
