Why Trim/Prune Trees in Your Yard?

Trimming and pruning trees can help to:

• Remove hazardous branches that are a risk to damage property
• Reduce disease risk - through pruning, tree disease can be prevented from spreading
• Encourage tree growth - tree pruning helps a tree's root system to get stronger, which improves a tree's health and help the new branches to grow.

Oak, Elm, Ash Tree Trimming

Winter is the best time to trim and prune your oak, ash and elm trees. Even in the cold and snow of winter, the Certified Arborists from Pioneer Tree & Landscaping, Inc. are out trimming and pruning trees. Pruning a tree during the winter dormancy period is the recommended practice (see the University of Minnesota Extension web site for more information - https://www.extension.umn.edu/garden/yard-garden/trees-shrubs/pruning-trees-shrubs/#timing). Benefits of winter tree trimming include:

• Trees are dormant during the Minnesota winter. Because of this dormancy, "wounds" to the tree from pruning will only be exposed for a very short length of time - and in the spring, new growth begins sealing new wounds.
• Reduce the risk of spreading some of the more common diseases affecting trees, such as oak wilt and Emeral Ash Borer.
• Pruning can be done without compacting the soil around the tree's roots during winter when the ground is frozen. Any heavy equipment needed to access your trees will have less impact on the soil and landscaping around your yard's trees.
• Pruning also improves the health of your trees by removing dead or dying branches that have previously been injured by disease, insects, mites, animals and storms.
