Dormant season is defined as the time of the year that trees and plants go dormant for the winter season. This season typically starts at the first frost in Fall and ends after the final frost in later Winter early Spring. Time frame slightly varies from year to year depending on the weather, but typically December through March.
Our Production Arborists work throughout the year when it comes to pruning, removals, cable bracing, and more. The dormant season is the best time of year and recommended time for pruning Oaks and Elms, due to eliminating the risk of spreading fungal disease vectored by insects (Dutch Elm disease, Oak Wilt, Sudden Oak death, etc.).
