In Alexandria, the best time to prune most trees is during late winter to early spring, before new growth begins. Pruning during this dormant season helps trees heal quickly, reduces stress, and lowers the risk of disease or pest infestation.

Once heavy rainfall passes, perform a soil test to check the soil’s moisture levels. If it’s still soaked, avoid watering your tree until it needs hydration. Hold off on fertilizer until the soil drains and keep an eye out for signs of damage the next growing season. Read our blog to learn more about oversaturated soils.
When conducting a visual inspection of your tree, start from the ground up. Look for heaving or severed roots, peeling bark, and decaying wood, and dead or dying branches and leaf deformities. Read our blog to learn how to tell if your tree is dying or dead.
