The tree pruning technique helps in maintaining the healthy condition of the tree. By implementing this technique, you can get rid of diseased and damaged parts of the tree.
It will also help in re-distributing water and essential nutrients to the tree so that it results in the optimum growth of the tree. But, the biggest question is when it is the right time to prune the tree.
Well, you should prune trees when they are dormant i.e., winter season. There are various benefits of implementing tree pruning techniques in the winter season. Here, I am going to list down a few benefits:
- In the winter season, plants shed their leaves, and you can easily determine the overgrown branches of the tree. Also, you can easily identify the tree branches with diseases and cut them to restore the good health of trees.
- You can easily prevent your home from hazards. The dead and diseased trees are more likely to fall during winter due to heavy wind and snowfall. Therefore, you should immediately prune them and prevent your home from the hazard in winter.
- Winter pruning is ideal for fruit trees because it prevents the loss of fruits and also prevents significant tree disease transmission.
