Professional Tree Service in Columbus, OH

Tree dormancy is a phrase often used while discussing landscaping, but what exactly does it mean?

The dormant season usually arrives in your region within the early winter weeks.

Trees enter the dormant or “resting” season based on a decrease in temperature and daylight received. These are the two primary factors that determine when and why a tree will rest for the winter.

Why is the dormant season a good time to perform tree maintenance?

Fall and winter are great times to perform tree maintenance for a number of reasons:

• Drier grounds and bare branches allow arborists to access and inspect your trees with ease.
• Helps decrease the likeliness of disease to spread and harm the tree’s structure.
• Promotes tree viability when the ground thaws and the sun shines again.

Understanding dormant season and its effects on your trees may help you better monitor their health, learn more. 

The best time to trim (prune) trees are anytime between late fall and early spring.

In fall and winter, trees enter a dormant stage, halting their growth. This inactivity along with dropping temperatures creates an ideal setting for pruning.

If you prune after new growth has started, you can limit the plant’s bloom potential for the year.

Here are additional benefits for trimming trees in fall or winter.

What is Core Aeration?

Core aeration is a process of using a specialized aeration machine with small hollow tines to remove “cores” of soil to help air, water, and fertilizer penetrate deep into the soil. It also helps control thatch in your yard, which prevents nutrients from reaching your soil and roots.

Benefits of Core Aeration:

• Reduce soil compaction
