Elisa Shackelton: Now is a good time to prune your trees
February 22, 2008
Light pruning to remove a few small branches of trees can be done at any time of year, but more extensive pruning should be done in late winter to early spring. There are three advantages to pruning at this time of the year. First, wound closure is most rapid if it’s done just prior to when new shoots emerge. Second, there are few insects and disease spores to infest pruning cuts. And third, deciduous trees have dropped their leaves, so it’s easier to see what you’re pruning. When removing any branch, large or small, avoid stubs and cuts close to the trunk. As a guideline, look for a bark ridge located in the branch crotch. You also will find that most branches have a slight swelling or “collar” at their base. Avoid cutting into this because that will destroy a natural protection or boundary in the tree.
