When to Trim Oak Trees

How Often Should I Trim the Branch of My Live Oak Trees?

If you have live oak trees on your property, then you need to be aware of when it is a good idea to prune them. These majestic trees are beautiful, but they need routine care. This includes a good trimming plan and the right tools.

Tree Care

Live oaks are a great addition to any property. They are durable, hardy, and can grow for hundreds of years. However, they can become an eyesore if not properly maintained. Trees that are not pruned regularly may develop diseases and become weak. In fact, a tree that is not properly trimmed can even be dangerous to a person’s safety.

The Best Time to Trim an Oak

The best time to trim an oak is during the dormant season. You will need to use a hand saw and loppers. Also, wear a pair of safety glasses or long sleeves.

Pruning an Oak

Another good time to prune an oak is in the spring. This is a great time to get rid of dead branches, suckers, and other growths. By doing so, you will also be able to increase the amount of airflow in the canopy.

Proper pruning also helps a tree heal from wounds. It can prevent disease and insect infestations. Oaks are susceptible to a fungal disease called oak wilt. When a branch or limb is infected, it can spread to the rest of the tree by insects landing on open wounds.

Cutting a limb

During this dormant period, you can also cut off limbs that are too large or are rubbing against other limbs. You should avoid cutting off branches that pull away from the trunk.
