When should you trim an Oak Tree?

Oak wilt syndrome is a serious disease transmitted from insects and root grafts, leading to leaf discoloration, wilting, and eventually killing the tree in full.  Due to the spread of this syndrome from insects, it is best to trim oak trees during an inactive season.  Since there has been a hard freeze, insects are no longer active, and it is safe to start trimming.  Please call us for a free estimate on any of your oak tree needs.
