Is It Too Late To Prune My Trees In Georgia?
Tree pruning, among other tree maintenance techniques can determine the health, longevity and cosmetic look of your trees. Tree pruning, especially on larger specimen is best left to the professionals as improperly pruning your trees can do more damage than good.
Here are just a few key benefits tree pruning provides:

Should I remove dead branches from my trees in summer?
Pruning heavily diseased or dead branches from your trees can be performed year round. Dead or dying wood on your trees can be an easy entryway into your tree for pests and diseases to enter and take over. If you are performing this at home, be sure to sanitize your shears or lopers after use to prevent the spread of any diseases from tree to tree on your property.
So when is the best time to trim my trees?
There are a lot of different factors that determine the best time of year for trimming your specimen. However, there are a few general rules to follow in regards to timing your tree trimming:
Most trees in Georgia will benefit most from trimming in early December to late March.
Young or newly planted trees should not be trimmed until they have completed a minimum of two growing seasons.
Keep any dead or diseased branches removed throughout the year.
