Winter Tree Care Benefits

Pruning trees in winter comes with a number of benefits, which include:

1. Avoid the spread of pests or diseases, which are more active during the spring and summer.

2. Free up valuable time in the spring to put towards other outdoor projects.

3. Less stress on trees, allowing time for pruning cuts to heal before warm weather insects and pathogens may be introduced.

4. Eliminate damage in the drop zone beneath the tree once the ground has frozen.
