Can I Trim My Oak Tree in the Springtime?
The best time to prune an oak tree is during the winter. This is the most appropriate time because the tree does not have a lot of leaf cover. Moreover, insects and pests are not active during this period.
Removing branches
However, this does not mean that you cannot trim your tree at other times. A few good examples include removing branches that do not offer any protection to the trunk or other branches. Cutting branches that cross other branches is also recommended.
Pruning
Pruning during the colder months allows the tree to partially seal the wounds with ap. It also slows down the shock of the wounds. In addition, pruning during the coolest months of the year ensures that the tree can regain its health.
Preventing Diseases
During the springtime, you can also do some pruning. In order to prevent diseases, it is essential to maintain the tree’s canopy. To do this, you should not cut the branches that can no longer receive sunlight.
You should also take care of your pruning tools. They should be cleaned and disinfected to avoid spreading disease. Moreover, you should wear safety clothing to protect your body.
Rubbing a Branch
One of the easiest ways to develop a wound is to rub a branch. You should also take note of any dead or dying branches. When you remove these branches, you should not let the roots or bark of the branch extend.
Pruning once a Year
Oak trees have a wide variety of species. Among them, black oak, bur oak, and red oak are the most common. These species are prone to oak wilt, which is a fungus that can be fatal. Therefore, it is recommended prune your oak tree at least once a year.
