“Let me say that Vassar's association with SavATree has been very positive and we are achieving great success in managing our campus trees in terms of safety and aesthetics.

“Your tree crew (a father and two sons) just finished removing two trees, and pruning another on my property. They were extremely neat and professional, making sure that everything was they way they found it. I could not be more satisfied. I definitely plan on using your company for any future tree work on my property, and will also heartily recommend you to anyone I know needing your services.”

“Efficient, high quality, professional competence — all at a competitive sum. At first [Alison] Pottage won me over by her solid knowledge as an arborist, then the crew did their job to her specifications on our 60 to 70 foot oaks within a remarkable period of time -- and left the grounds quite clean.”

Winter Tree Pruning
Should trees be pruned in winter?
Tree pruning provides a variety of benefits to your trees and landscape. In addition to improving their appearance, trimmed trees will be safer and healthier. Pruning promotes plant health by removing dead or dying branches that have previously been injured by disease, insects, mites, animals, storms or people.

Winter is a great time to prune trees.
Tree Pruning can be done at any time of the year; however, recommended times vary depending on the species. In general, the best time to prune most plants is during late winter.
-
Better access
The frozen ground gives the arborist access to areas and with equipment that they would otherwise not be able to reach.
-
Better visibility
Without foliage to obstruct views, structural problems are more visible, making it easier to make pruning decisions. This also reduces damage to under story plants such as perennials and annuals.
-
Between growing seasons
Plants are dormant during winter. Which means fresh wounds will only be exposed for a very short length of time – just until the spring when new growth begins sealing new wounds.
-
Convenience
On the practical side, it is easy for a homeowner to be inundated with outdoor projects in the spring and summer. So, why not reserve tree trimming for winter.
