🌳 The Best Time to Trim Trees in Houston (& When to Avoid It!)
Knowing the best time to trim your trees can make a big difference in their health, appearance, and longevity. In Houston, timing is everything when it comes to tree trimming and pruning. Here’s what you need to know!
✅ Best Times to Trim Trees in Houston
✔ Late Fall & Winter (November – February)
This is the ideal time because most trees are dormant, meaning less stress on them.
There’s lower risk of disease and pests, which are active in warmer months.
Great for major pruning, shaping, and removing dead branches.
✔ Early Spring (March – April, before new growth starts)
Light trimming is okay for shaping trees and removing weak branches.
❌ When NOT to Trim Trees
🚫 Summer (June – September)
Houston’s extreme heat makes it hard for trees to recover from cuts.
Certain trees, like oak trees, are at higher risk of disease if pruned during warm months.
🌳 Tree-Specific Tips
Oak Trees: Trim in winter to avoid deadly oak wilt disease.
Crepe Myrtles: Best pruned in late winter for healthy spring blooms.
Pine Trees: Can be trimmed in late summer.
