    Aww that's freaken cool, you love trees. Your energy and loving vibes for trees is just so beautiful...its not just the caffine bru, definitely a tree lover. Me too. I'm not seeing what I'm looking for though, I've got a giant ancient old oak tree well 4 in my front yard that'd got some serious issues. She drops dozens of widow makers all winter long, a branch fell couple years ago and cracked my windshield. Her branches have grown over my roof very low and I've had to clean out leafs from my gutters 4x in 2 months. So I'm looking for oak tree trimming pruning tips advice.

    great video but i have my doubts about pruning in winter. The most important thing a tree can do against pruning wounds is CODIT. This can only happen when the tree is active (summer and spring). Also in fall and winter there are more funghi spores in the atmospheres wich can lead to infection of your wound.

    I live in Florida and it is currently summer (our rainy season). I was going to make major cuts to my young 6-year old oak tree until I watched your video that explained the importance to wait to trim trees until they are less active. While my tree has a beautiful shape, it needs to be “raised” as there are low lying branches but I will wait until winter to make major cuts; however, can I still trim the small branches during the rainy season to allow light and air flow?

    • @770ArboristTreeService
      @770ArboristTreeService  3 роки тому +1

      Definetly a better idea to wait on the heavy duty pruning. We prune lightly all year, but if we are going to do heavy pruning, i.e. large % of the overall foliage, we try to wait until dormat season. Thanks!

  • @Silver87sc

    Long shot in asking, but I have about a 30 gallon shantung maple main street that's been planted for less than one year (nursery came and planted it)
    I love in Eastern Texas and we did have some crazy weather this year (and the last few 😒) anyway! Most of the maple is leafed out and very fluffy. The crown limbs and a few limb tips further down, are nekked. I'm worried about sun scorch if it doesn't fill in. Am I doing something wrong? Is it winter damage and it'll eventually fill in? They're not dead at all and did try to leaf out, but they were super tiny and then died 😔 otherwise the tree seems pretty healthy. Thank you for the informative video!

    it's better to prune during summertime , the tree will be able to activly close and heal it wounds. Also a wet wound is beter because there is les oxygen for fungus to grow. winter pruning causes stress and heavy growth reaction in spring

    • @yoyoyobottleoyos
      @yoyoyobottleoyos 3 роки тому +1

      Unless you’re dealing with oak wilt or any other diseases spread during the growing season. I’d agree that late spring pruning is ideal in most situations (cool-enough days; leaves have hardened; time for the tree to respond, but not like a monster). This is especially true of most Prunus fruit trees. But winter pruning work is invaluable to be able to properly identify structure and defects.

  • @Wheat_on_vr
    @Wheat_on_vr 4 роки тому +1

    So I live in England and need some advice. My beautiful smoke tree is dying. At first I thought it was verticillium wilt because the leaves are just dying, but after doing some research and watching your video I am concerned it may actually have been our fault. Last autumn we “pruned” our tree to help keep the shape... now I feel what we actually did was top it! About 70% of the leaves are wilting. I don’t have your email or I would send a photo. I want to try and do a real prune as you have described to either remove the dead because of our topping mistake or if it is verticillium wilt try and save the tree. (I know there is no cure for it if it is vw) should we prune now or wait until winter? If we wait until winter it will have dropped the leaves and be harder to see which branches are effected? If we prune will all those branches just become stumps or will they regrow? I am so gutted as the tree was beautiful and I don’t want to loose it! Please help!

    • @770ArboristTreeService
      @770ArboristTreeService  3 роки тому

      I would never top a tree. Just cut it down. You're going to be asking for problems if you top it. It's not going to heal right and it's going to develop a decay pocket with in the trunk. I just cut it down and start over at a better location. Best of luck!

    Hello there, how can I know if a tree in front of my house was over trimmed? We hired a guy to trimmed in OCT 2020 and our HOA is now sending us letters saying that the tree may need to be replaced. The guy that did the job told us the tree will grow up back again but we can't get a hold of him so he can give us a letter or something so we can provide to our HOA and prevent a fine. I wish I can attached a pic to this post so you can see. 🙁

    • @770ArboristTreeService
      @770ArboristTreeService  3 роки тому +1

      Just shoot a video upload it to youtube, and then attach the link here. I'm happy to take a look at it. But I can tell you ahead of time, the likely answer is simply going to be to wait and see. No matter what that tree is going to try to grow back. Simply because living things try to live. Now the definition of how healthy it will be when it comes back is up for debate, but will it try to continue to live? Likely so. When you top out a tree, especially in the fall, all of the nutrients of the tree or at least most of it are going to be within its storage in the trunk and roots. So when the spring comes around and it starts pushing for new leaves, it will push out new twigs and buds to replace what was cut off. This is under the assumption that it is a deciduous leaf bearing tree. If it is something like a Leland Cypress or coniferous tree, then you're up the creek. They do not produce advantageous sprouts. Meaning once you cut behind the green, it's done. Anyway, feel free to upload a video and I'll take a look at it. Best of luck!

    You're a literal tree God, this was a bastion of knowledge I've been looking for hours for. Liked and subbed, love how well you lay it out and love your style.
    I have an Acer Rubrum I'm trying to grow under 3500fc grow lights. Its 8 feet and was shipped dormant. The leader has a tip that is a bit taller than the rest and I'd love to do the crown reduction so that I can supply the canopy overall with more light. Is this safe to do with a young tree? Can I keep it maintained as an 8 foot rounded canopy by pruning annually without harming it? It's been my dream to have an October glory in my room and I'm willing to do anything to make it happen

    • @770ArboristTreeService
      @770ArboristTreeService  3 роки тому +1

      Hey thanks so much for the sub and for reaching out.
      So can you do a crown reduction cut? Yes. Should not hurt the tree right now in its dormancy.
      However trying to keep that track from tree indoors is going to be very very very very difficult. The problem is it will not want to stay small. It's going to constantly allocate its growth outward and you're going to constantly be cutting it back which is going to create a constant stress on the tree.
      the same time he probably doesn't make much of a difference. You can simply keep it pruned, and continue pruning it,
      but what you definitely need to do is pick the shape that you want it to be at and then don't let it grow past that. You're not going to be able to prune this thing once per season. It's going to be more like every 2 weeks during the growing season or something like that.
      Literally you'll be doing Bonsai pruning and preventing it from growing out past the limits that you preset for it.
      Best of luck.

    • @Wack_to_wac
      @Wack_to_wac 3 роки тому

      All trees grow different, but to help make sure its getting enough light and not underneath another tree. Trim limbs that are intertwined with each other and sucker limbs. It'll help get proper growth to the main areas. Like I said every tree grows different, why you see smaller grown oaks and bigger ones. I'm not a certified arborist, just a tree climber. That's just to my knowledge on what I would do trimming a tree for that reason.

    So if you have a tree that is growing over buildings (with 5"-8" diameter branches) how would you handle this without topping the tree?

    • @770ArboristTreeService
      @770ArboristTreeService  3 роки тому +1

      5 to 8 in in diameter is hard to prune because the cut face ends up being too big a lot of times. Instead leave the main branches, the big beams, and instead go up the beams and cut the smaller drop branches that are going toward the house. We called this shaving the beard, or trimming the beard. It's like you're cutting the smaller things but leaving the neck if you will. also you can go out to the chips and then one in three. to lighten the weight. That way your lightening the load, and getting the tree off of the house.into the cost of emergency tree removal
