Tree Trimming

One of the sayings that are circulating about tree trimming is that you should do it whenever your tools are sharp

. It is, like some of some other common things, quite wrong. Or, to be more precise, it can apply to cutting dead or partially broken branches, but not to all the rest of the situations when tree trimming is required. In the case of flower trimming, for example, timing is most important.

While it is normal for most trees to blossom one year before they bloom, you must know the blooming will not happen unless you trim the flower buds of the tree. The best time to do that is in three weeks time from when the tree finished blooming and the reason for that is that otherwise you might cut the buds which contain next year's flowers, which is not recommended. Some species have adequate tree trimming times; maples, for example, are "bleeding" if you trim them in late autumn or early spring.

It is just a matter of whether you like their aspect or not (the tree does not suffer nor gain from its bleeding, scientists have shown); the dogwoods trimmed in April or in May have more chances of getting the so called dogwood borer, which is an insect that attacks the vascular system of the tree after it gets inside it so you might want to avoid that time for trimming it; the perfect time for tree trimming in the case of oaks is any time outside April through October, and the reason for that is the high rate of cases of Wilt disease attacks in that precise period of time.

A particularly delicate aspect of tree trimming is topping. In the case of some species like the Silver Maple, after about 20 years of existence, tree trimming becomes a must (or the alternative to removing the whole tree).

But the things you must be very careful about when going for that option are the aspect the tree is going to have in a few years (also known as the appearance of a hat rack) and the necessity of repeating the process of tree trimming more and more often.
