Autumn is a good time to prune most trees. The risk of spreading disease is reduced and the tree is visible. A professional needs to remove dead branches, eliminating the crossed branches and establish a pattern of healthy growth. Autumn is also a good time to lift the lower branches and prune trees away from houses, pools, driveways and walks.

Prevent split trees by installing cables or bolts:
Trees with multiple trunks or bark in the forest grew on a treehorses are prime targets for problems. An arborist should install a cable that is bolted through both limbs on the tree to avoid splitting. It 'important that the surgeon chooses the hardware tree designed to fit the specific problem and uses the right way to successfully reinforce the tree.

Preventable Winterburn
Cold wind can actually draw moisture from the leaves and needles on your evergreens. Azaleas, Rhododendrons, Hollies, and are more susceptible but pines,firs and yews may also be affected. Ask your nurseryman for a antidescicant to protect your evergreens.
