Wisconsin Tree Care Tips

If you're left wondering, "When is the right time to trim trees in Wisconsin?" You're not alone. Let us shine some light on the subject. Most trees can be pruned anytime of year, but there are some advantages of Brookfield tree pruning during the dormant season.

Oaks and elms are the only trees that have to be pruned in the dormant season to prevent the spread of oak wilt and Dutch elm disease. The beetles that spread both diseases enter the trees through open wounds or pruning cuts.

Brookfield tree pruning operations in the winter can cause less damage to lawns, landscapes and perennial plants.

Leafless canopies allow our Milwaukee arborist to see the entire structure of the tree making it easier to see deadwood, decayed, damaged limbs and poor structure. (Yes, we can tell the difference between live and dead branches without leaves on the trees.)
