Though the trees are lit for Christmas in the Carolinas, it’s not the only tree in the needing attention during the winter season. Winter tree removal includes ice storms that may have damaged trees and left them unsafe. Waiting until spring may not be an option.

Homeowners shouldn’t neglect their landscape just because the weather turns chilly. Bryan, Niwaki’s expert arborist, says it’s a great time of year to take care of tree removals.

During or even toward the end of the winter season, have a professional tree service company asses and fix any damage that may have occurred. It’s also the best time to prune trees with “reduced cold hardiness.”

“When the tree is dormant, leaves fall allowing you to view the structure of the tree easier.” “The harder ground helps to limit the collateral effect of heavy limbs and debris,” he says. “Trimming for structural clearance is another highly requested service during the winter season. Evergreen pruning, in general, is optimal this time of year.”
