Spring pruning can be beneficial for specific tree species, especially those prone to diseases during summer. Notably, conifers like Lawson Cypress and red cedar thrive with light pruning in early spring. Experts recommend trimming heights significantly while maintaining the shape of the tree. Proper techniques, including using sharp and sanitized tools, are emphasized to minimize damage and promote healthy growth. Care must also be taken to avoid disrupting nesting birds during this period.
"Being columnar, it's usually the height of conifers that need the most attention with the vertical sides of the tree only requiring a trim once a year."
"Ensure the tools are sharp and disinfected before use to reduce the risk of damage or of disease taking hold after pruning."
