When is the optimum time for tree crown thinning in Great Wakering?

Tree crown thinning is best avoided during the following times:

The active growing season: This usually runs from late spring to early winter. Cutting a tree during this time will cause it to bleed sap which attracts bugs and disease. Any urgent work needed to make a tree safe or treat disease can go ahead, but only under professional guidance.

It is important to note that the growing seasons for the different species of trees vary. Our news and tree ID pages provide helpful guidance on the optimum time to prune your particular tree, or you can contact us for tailored advice.

The bird nesting season: Between February and August birds will usually be nesting in trees. It is therefore not allowed to undertake any sort of tree work, again unless it is a genuine emergency. There are laws protecting nesting birds and it is always a good idea to check for active nests outside of the official nesting season so as not to disturb the birds.

You will also need to consult the local authority TPO register if your tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO). If it is then the amount of crown thinning permitted will be limited and permission will be required from your local authority to go ahead with the work. This can take up to eight weeks to be given.
