When to trim
Many trees are best pruned during dormancy in late fall and winter. For oaks, many arborists recommend avoiding pruning in spring and early summer to reduce the risk of oak wilt spreading. Dead or hazardous limbs can be removed anytime.
Avoid "topping" trees — it weakens them and often leads to more problems later.
