We’re well into summer time now here in Sydney which can mean some people need the assistance of an arborist in the Northern Beaches.
Although lots of smaller pruning jobs can easily be a DIY job or project, others may require the assistance of a professional.
Northern Beaches Arborist can provide tree pruning or tree maintenance services in the Northern Beaches if you need an expert opinion or touch.
Tree And Plant Pruning In Summer
Although winter is an ideal time to prune trees, plants and shrubs as they are mostly dormant, you can still attend to some tree pruning in summer in the Northern Beaches.
Summer can be an ideal time to remove dead branches and prune spring flowering trees when they’ve finished flowering.
It’s best to refrain from extensive tree pruning in summer for trees, plants, flowers and shrubs that bloom during the summer season as it can affect their flowering.
However, feel free to prune and remove any branches that are dead, damaged or diseased at any time of year, as keeping those branches could inhibit or stunt the growth of the plant.
Tree pruning in the Northern Beaches in summer isn’t completely off limits, but definitely tread cautiously and do further research on the species of plant you’re looking to prune, before digging in.
Choosing The Right Equipment And Gear
When it comes to tree pruning equipment in the Northern Beaches, ensure you use sharp, not blunt tools that are clean.
Small pruners or secateurs are best for smaller branches and loppers can be used for larger branches with a diameter of around 3cm minimum.
When thinking about what to wear, remember you can easily and quickly get burnt in the hot summer sun, so consider wearing a wide brimmed hat.
It’s a good idea to wear long pants and long sleeves along with gardening or protective gloves when tree pruning in the Northern Beaches. Safety glasses are also a good idea.
