Is It Easier To Remove A Tree When It Has Leaves Or In The Winter When There Are No Leaves?

Accepted Answer

This is a pretty common question, and honestly it doesn’t make a difference either way. It is better for your tree to prune in the dormant season so it isn’t wounded or shocked as much. It is also easier to see the dead wood in the winter months when pruning.
