Precision Pruning to Maintain Tree Structure
Limb prunings involve trimming and removing dead or overgrown branches from trees and shrubs. Proper limb pruning promotes healthy growth, improves tree structure, and enhances landscape aesthetics. Late November and early December are ideal times for limb pruning, as many trees are dormant, reducing stress and encouraging vigorous growth in the following season.
