Atlanta Tree Service Company Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts Encourages Homeowners to Prune Now
As winter comes to a close and before temperatures start to rise, homeowners should begin pruning trees, says Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts, an Atlanta tree removal company.

ATLANTA, GA, March 17, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Atlanta tree service company Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts identifies the transition period between winter and spring as the optimal time to prune trees. By taking advantage of this window, homeowners will have their yard looking green, lush, and full during the summer months. Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts is a tree service company specializing in Atlanta tree removal, tree trimming, and storm damage response.

An essential maintenance procedure for trees, pruning improves tree structure and enhances vigor and safety. Pruning is not the reckless removal of branches; it is a careful process carried out to remove dead, diseased or insect-infested branches. Only light pruning is necessary, over-pruning can stunt the health and growth of a tree.

The ideal time for pruning, when trees are their most resilient, is just before spring hits and flowers and trees begin to bloom. If pruning is performed after spring growth, trees have a harder time dealing with the stress of the cuts, because a large amount of energy has already been expended to produce early foliage and growth.

Gary Robertson, owner of Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts, explains, "The closer and closer we get to spring, the more important it becomes to properly maintain your trees in preparation for the warmer months. You do not want to wait until your trees begin sprouting leaves and flowers to prune them. If you prune now, you will see the benefit throughout the spring and summer."

This is not only the best time of the year for pruning in regard to the tree's health; it is also one of the easiest times to prune. As winter comes to a close, the tree's leaves are absent and the branch structure is more easily seen. This makes it easier to identify and remove dead or broken branches.

It is important to remember when pruning that proper technique is essential for both the health of the tree and the efficacy of the pruning process. Small cuts made just outside the branch collar are the most effective. To be sure that your trees are pruned properly, Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts recommends hiring a professional Atlanta tree service company for larger or more difficult pruning jobs.
