When Do I Need to Trim Trees?

Most trees have a pruning cycle of 3-5 years depending on the variety, age and health of your tree. Our arborists can help prune and shape the tree for maximum pruning cycles and long term health of the tree.

What are the Benefits of Tree Pruning?

Are you considering tree pruning or not sure what it is? Tree pruning helps with the overall health of tree by removing any lingering dead branches which can halt a healthy tree from developing.

Benefits of having tree pruning services include:

  • Maintains overall health of a tree
  • Aesthetic Improvement
  • Less chance for accidents
  • Other plants receive additional sunlight
  • Aids in shaping the tree

How to Prune Trees

Pruning trees is often a complicated task, requiring professional knowledge of the appropriate techniques and rules in order to ensure the best outcome for the tree. It is important to understand when pruning should be done and what type of pruning should be done in order to not damage or weaken the tree. Pruning at the wrong time or with incorrect techniques can cause severe harm and even death for the tree.

When Do You Need to Prune Your Trees?

Knowing when is best to prune is key, as newly planted trees shouldn’t be pruned for two to five years in order to allow them time to establish their root system and therefore become more resilient against disease and pests. Additionally, it's important to know how much can be pruned at once–no more than one third of a tree’s total crown should be removed at one time.

Expert Pruning Techniques

Once this guideline is followed, it's crucial that proper pruning techniques are employed. Branch crossing branches, water sprouts, root suckers and double leaders must all be pruned correctly using a clean cut just outside the branch without leaving a stub.

For larger limbs, a three-point cut method should be used where one cut is made 12-18 inches from its point of attachment, another cut is made just outside of that away from trunk, and finally another cut just above the branch collar. The knowledge of these rules not only keeps trees healthier but also makes sure they look aesthetically pleasing throughout their life span.

Signs Your Tree May Be Diseased or Infested With Pests

As a homeowner, it's crucial to keep an eye on the health of your trees. Trees can be vulnerable to diseases and infestations, which can weaken their structure, reduce their vitality, and ultimately lead to their demise. Grover Landscape Services Inc. is here to help you identify the signs that your tree may be diseased or infested with pests so that you can take appropriate action and protect your precious trees.

Look out for the following signs:

  • Abnormal Foliage: One of the first indicators of a diseased or infested tree is abnormal foliage. Keep an eye out for leaves that are discolored, wilting, or showing signs of premature defoliation. Infested trees may have leaves that are curled, distorted, or riddled with holes. If you notice any of these signs on your tree's foliage, it could indicate a potential disease or pest infestation.

  • Bark Damage: Bark serves as the protective covering of a tree, and any damage to it can be a red flag. Diseased trees may exhibit peeling, cracking, or discolored bark. Infested trees may show signs of tunneling or chewing damage on the bark. Furthermore, the presence of sap or resin on the bark could indicate an infestation of insects like borers or beetles. Keep a close eye on the bark of your trees and seek professional tree services if you observe any unusual changes.

  • Branch Dieback: Diseased or infested trees may experience branch dieback, which is the gradual death of branches from the tips inward. This can result in an uneven canopy with sparse foliage or bare branches. If you notice branches that are not producing leaves or have dead leaves clinging to them, it could indicate a tree health issue.

  • Pest Activity: Pests can cause significant damage to trees, and their presence can often be detected by closely observing the tree and its surroundings. Look for signs of pest activity such as holes in the trunk or branches, sawdust or frass (insect excrement) around the base of the tree, or the presence of webs, nests, or cocoons on the branches. These could indicate an infestation of insects or other pests that are harming your tree.

  • Overall Tree Decline: A tree that is diseased or infested may show signs of an overall decline in its health and vigor. This could include reduced growth, thinning canopy, loss of leaves, and a general lack of vitality. If you notice that your tree is not looking as healthy as it used to be, it's essential to have it inspected by a professional tree service to determine the cause of the decline.

It is crucial to be proactive in identifying the signs that your tree may be diseased or suffering from a pest infestation. Early detection and timely intervention can help save your trees and ensure their longevity.

If you notice any of the above signs, do not hesitate to contact a reputable tree service like Grover Landscape Services Inc. for a thorough inspection and appropriate treatment. Trees are valuable assets to your property, and taking prompt action can help protect their health and beauty for years to come!

When is the Best Time to Plant a Tree?

If you are planning to plant a tree, there can a big difference depending on the season it is. The best time to plant a tree is during the spring with higher chance of water engaging with the root. Ground has the potential to freeze during colder months of fall, making it difficult for enough water to engage with the root, which can lead to the tree dying.
