Pruning Oak Trees

Pruning Oak Trees

Oak trees are some of the oldest trees in the world. Some species reach heights of over 100 feet and grow very large. They also provide shade and are resilient to drought.

There are many ways to prune oak trees. Choosing the right time is important for their overall health. Read your tree’s manual for instructions on the proper pruning techniques. Wear safety gear such as long sleeves and gloves.

Best time to trim

The best time for tree cutting is late autumn to early March. You may also want to check your property’s rights before attempting the pruning. An arborist can help you determine the correct course of action.

Cutting down an oak tree may be necessary if the roots have penetrated your home foundation. Shallow roots can make your yard unsightly and make it difficult to mow.

Tree care

Structural pruning will help you eliminate weak branches and avoid future problems. Large dead branches near the crown are especially dangerous.

Consult authorities and professionals

The best time to prune an oak tree is late autumn to early March. This is the optimum time to remove older, weaker sections of the tree. However, you should consult with your local authorities for any legal issues you may have.

If you are considering removing an oak tree, call your local HOA. Many HOAs have strict rules for tree removal. It may also be a part of an easement.

A live oak tree will shed old leaves in the fall and will begin to sprout new ones in the spring.
