Pruning:

Pruning trees and shrubs is a vital necessity to maintain their health and safety.

Mostly the best time to prune is the late fall or winter when trees and shrubs are most dormant, but dead branches can and should be removed whenever possible.

Pruning during a trees dormant cycle can lessen sap loss and stress to the tree, and can also minimize risks of fungus or insect infections.

Tree pruning can be accomplished by amateurs, however, pruning incorrectly can damage any tree and larger trees can be very dangerous to prune.

So if you are not familiar with how to properly prune a tree, consider hiring an expert to be safe and sure.
