As the chill of winter begins to thaw before the first signs of spring appear, it's the ideal time to give your oak trees the attention they need. Trimming your oak trees before the spring growth surge can have numerous benefits for their health and appearance.
š Why Trim Before Spring?
Disease Prevention: Oak trees are particularly susceptible to diseases like oak wilt, which can spread more easily if trees are pruned during the warmer months. Winter pruning reduces this risk.
Enhanced Healing: Trees heal faster from pruning cuts made in late winter or early spring, before the sap starts flowing and the leaves grow.
Easier Inspection: Without leaves, itās simpler to spot damaged or diseased branches that need removal.
Stimulating Growth: Pruning before spring helps direct the tree's energy to the remaining branches, promoting healthier, more vigorous growth.
š³Remember: Healthy pruning practices contribute to the longevity and beauty of your oak trees. However any tree can benefit from a healthy pruning. Contact us today for a free quote, Fischer Tree & Stump Removal at 309-369-6412.
