FAQs
How much will be pruned from my trees during the service?
The amount of tissue removed from each tree depends on a variety of factors such as tree size, age, species, and your pruning objectives. Younger trees are more resilient to pruning methods, and it’s important to note that trees recover from several small wounds more quickly than one large wound. We will be sure to maintain an even distribution of foliage in your trees so that they remain structurally sound and are positioned to continue a healthy growth cycle.
Will the plant bear fruit or flower next year if I prune it?
Yes, as long as you order your winter pruning early enough in the season, pruning should encourage new growth and blooms in the spring. Pruning gives healthy branches more room to grow and stimulates new growth as well.
Why is pruning beneficial and why is winter a good time to do it?
Annual pruning during winter encourages healthy growth and rich blooms on your fruit trees, vines, and perennials. Combined with good irrigation and proper nutrients, winter pruning can also help a plant recover from pest, fungus, disease, or frost damage. Also, in the winter trees enter into a dormant state. The growth cycle is stopped and the tree conserves energy for the following spring. This means that most of the tree’s energy can be put towards the healing process, allowing it to recover more quickly from the pruning.
