Short updates on what matters for trees right now: work worth bringing forward, pests that show up in a given season, and changes to the services we offer.

Unlike the guides, which are written to stay true over time, these updates are tied to a date — what holds in February does not necessarily hold in August.

Winter, December through February, is the window for structural pruning on deciduous trees: the tree is dormant, the branch structure is visible, and wounds close before spring activity picks up. It is also when branches resting on roofs should be dealt with, ahead of the storms.

Spring and summer belong to palms and pests. The red palm weevil is most active in the hot months, and catching it early — before the crown is damaged — is the difference between treatment and removal. Clearing dry fronds before summer cuts both the fall risk and the fire risk.

Autumn is preparation: thinning the canopy before the first rains, checking the stability of mature trees, and clearing accumulated green waste before it soaks through and gets heavy.
