Is winter a good time to prune trees?

Tree pruning during the winter, when your tree has entered the dormancy period, is ideal to avoid spreading serious fungus that can spread quickly during warmer months. Winter pruning is more efficient and helps your tree to look better during the spring to the fall.Mulching in hard to access areas is also ideal during the winter, thanks to frost. Mulchers can weigh between 17000 lbs and up, so ensuring that the ground is frozen is essential when accessing marshy or sensitive areasContact us today for expert mulching or pruning services in Edmonton!
