It's the height of summer and I wrote a piece for my Tree Service client about what to do for your trees during the fall and winter. I thought it made sense because now is the time to plan for what's coming up.
Here's a bit of what I covered in that piece:
Florida rarely gets hard freezes, but our trees still need some attention.
Since our winters mostly feel like an extended autumn, I put them together as a single season.
Many trees in the Mid Florida region can withstand cold snaps and light freezes, but some trees can be seriously harmed. Then, of course, is the rare hard freeze that can damage the toughest Florida Trees. Taking some pre-season precautions can mitigate these risks.
When the temperature begins to drop is often the best time to have your trees pruned. The cooler, drier weather holds a reduced risk of tree disease and infection.
The drier weather also allows the soil to become more firm, allowing allowing trucks and heavier machinery to work over the roots with less risk of damage.
Winter Tree Pruning also allows the tree some time to recover in time for the spring rains that will prompt the tree to put on new lush greenery.
Your grass and other ground level plants may benefit from having your trees trimmed. This is a time of less direct sunlight, so thinning the branches may allow more of that sunlight to reach your yard.
No matter the season, whenever you need tree service in Central Florida, my go-to suggestion is always Mid Florida Tree Service.
