The Importance Of Winter Tree Trimming:
Many people think trees should not be trimmed in the winter. But did you know it’s one of the best times of the year to trim? During this time, trees are dormant and can benefit greatly from a trim before the warm weather comes! Here are five benefits to trimming your trees during the winter in Minnesota
1. Improved Efficiency For The Arborist
During the dormant months in Minnesota, trees do not have leaves covering their branches. This makes it much easier for Arborists to come in, identify which branches are damaged or diseased, and remove them. Arborists are also able to navigate the property easier when the ground is frozen. When the Arborist can come in and work more efficiently, the total cost of your project effectively goes down.
2. Prevent Harmful Diseases From Spreading
Insects, fungi, bacteria, and parasites that spread harmful diseases are dead during the winter, making this the perfect time to prune your trees. Harmful diseases that spread during the winter include dutch elm, oak wilt, and fire blight.
3. Dormant Trimming Is Healthier For The Trees
When a tree is trimmed during the winter, it allows for the open wounds to heal during the early spring when nutrients are at a surplus and the threats are minimal. This will result in better structure and growth throughout the year.
4. Prevent the risk of falling branches damaging property or harming guests
Keep your property safe. Eliminate the risk that a damaged or diseased tree branch falls, causing damage to your property or harming someone by getting rid of these branches.
