When is the best time to prune your tree?

The general rule for tree pruning is to avoid the active growing season. When a tree is actively growing, it will bleed sap when cut. This attracts bugs and diseases. In the majority of cases the active growing period falls between late spring to early winter.

Optimum pruning times and processes vary from one tree species to another, so it is important to contact us for individual advice. When it comes to the health of your valued trees, professional advice is essential. You can also learn more about your particular tree and when to prune it courtesy of our news and tree ID pages.

It is also important to know that any type of non-emergency tree work must be avoided during the bird nesting season which runs from February to August. Be sure to check for nesting birds before proceeding with any tree work at any time of the year.

What you Need to Know About Tree Preservation Orders

Trees of notable interest are often protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO). These put restrictions on the amount of pruning that can be carried out and make it necessary to obtain permission to carry out works.

If your tree is located within a conservation area then special permission will be required before proceeding with any works.
