Tree Surgery Services in Leicestershire

The best time of year to prune trees depends on the species and the purpose of the pruning. In general, winter and early spring are good times to prune deciduous trees, while summer is best for pruning conifers.

Deadwood is a natural part of a tree’s life cycle. When deadwood becomes excessive it can reduce the phycological processes of the tree. From a risk perspective deadwood can break off unpredictably posing a risk to people, vehicles and properties. These are the main reasons why deadwood should be removed, but if the risk of harm is low, it can be retained as it provides benefits for wildlife.
