Work done in March before leaves bud out promotes quicker healing and greatly reduces the likelihood of tree-boring insects honing in on fresh pruning cuts.
“March is a good time for tree trimming, because you don’t have the leaves to try to see through,” said Brian McKenzie, a manager with Bartlett Tree Experts.
McKenzie recommends homeowners inspect trees for broken or dead limbs which are sometimes indicated by peeling bark. Remove suckers growing around the trunk and water sprouts from lateral branches; they rob energy from the rest of the tree.
Trees require pruning to remove dead or damaged branches, to redirect growth or to prevent future problems, such as limbs that may eventually press against the house. For a comprehensive manual on how to prune trees, visit the federal government’s Web site.
