When to Prune…Pretty Soon.

Most trees and shrubs benefit from annual pruning.  It encourages growth, keeps them in shape, and removes diseased bark and limbs.  A general rule of thumb, fiskar (look it up), and maybe a chainsaw are used to prune spring flowering trees and shrubs right after they bloom and prune later flowering trees and shrubs in the early spring.

Now, here is something you might want to keep in mind.  Losing an entire season of flowers is not what you want to accomplish with pruning…most of the time, that is.  However, it might be worth it sometimes.  When you need to rejuvenate an old tree or shrub and make extensive cuts, it’s much easier to prune when you can see the shape of the plant.

Here is what you can’t see.  You CAN’T see yourself climbing your trees on your Reno area property with the proper equipment and actually doing the job!  For that, there is The Tree Professional of Northern Nevada.  That’s their name and what they are all wrapped up into one.  Contact The Tree Professional for expert pruning at (775) 420-8694.  

Rules for Trees.

Did you know that there were such things in Northern Nevada?  These municipal regulations provide authority over trees, define responsibilities, offer guidance to residents and establish minimum standards for a community’s tree program.  Tree ordinances are a tool that help local officials implement community forestry programs.

Sometimes it is as simple as planting the wrong types of trees in limited spaces which can displace sidewalks and result in tripping hazards.  Tree roots can also cause damage to curbs, gutters and streets resulting in costly repairs and replacement.  Other tree ordinance provisions require that only Certified Arborists can get tree work permits.

All of this should lead to the obvious choice of The Tree Professional of Northern Nevada when caring for the trees on your property.  Greg Chavez is a licensed arborist who is “one with nature” when it comes to trees.  Always remember Greg and his team of Tree Professionals by calling (775) 420-8694.

Deciduous Trees.

What are these trees that shed their leaves every year?  There are dozens of varieties that grow around Northern Nevada.  So, when is the best time to prune them?  February through March is generally regarded as the best time to prune most deciduous trees.  The absence of foliage at this time of year gives the individual a clear view of the tree.

Deciduous trees can be pruned at other times during this year of 2020 with little or no negative consequences.  However, if possible, avoid pruning deciduous trees in spring when the trees are leafing out and in fall when the trees are dropping their leaves.  We are obviously right in the heart of deciduous tree pruning season.

Now, the ball is in your court.  Isn’t it an optimal time to call The Tree Professional of Northern Nevada to have those deciduous trees trimmed?  Sure, it is!  Call Greg and he, along with his crew, will make sure those trees on your property are more beautiful than ever come spring.  Just call The Tree Professional of Reno at (775) 420-8694. 

Awww, Look at the Snow on the Trees…How Beautiful!

Maybe or maybe not depending on your perspective.  Usually, by the time it snows around Reno, trees have lost their leaves and are looking bleak.  A light covering of snow is not likely to cause any harm.  In fact, it can provide some beautiful photo ops.  While most plants are dormant in the winter, frost and snow will not affect its growing patterns, but it can affect its shape.

If you notice snow is pulling branches out of their natural shape, you could use a soft broom to gently sweep it off.  Warning…using a heavy snow shovel to knock off snow can cause even more damage!  If you can, try to remove the snow even while there’s still snow falling.  If you wait until the storm is over, it may be too late.

If heavy winter snows around Northern Nevada challenge the health and safety of the trees on your property don’t hesitate to call The Tree Professional.  That’s Greg Chavez and his team in Reno at (775) 420-8694.  It may all look beautiful, but safety always comes first so call The Tree Professional of Northern Nevada.
