Common Questions
Tree Trimming Questions Answered
When is the best time to trim trees in Ontario?
Most trees in Ontario are best pruned in late winter or early spring before new growth begins — typically February through April. This timing reduces stress on the tree and minimizes the risk of insect or disease issues. However, dead or hazardous branches should be removed any time of year. Call us and we’ll advise based on your specific tree species.
How often should trees be trimmed?
Most healthy trees benefit from pruning every 3 to 5 years. Faster-growing species and trees near structures may need attention more frequently. Young trees may need annual structural pruning in the first few years to develop good form.
Can over-pruning harm a tree?
Yes — removing too much of the canopy at once (over 25–30%) can stress a tree significantly. Nortree’s team follows best practices to ensure we never remove more than the tree can safely handle in a single pruning session.
Do you prune fruit trees?
Yes, we prune fruit trees including apple, pear, cherry, and plum. Fruit tree pruning is ideally done in late winter before bud break to maximize fruit production and tree health.
Is tree trimming included with tree removal?
If you’re having a tree removed, all limbing and branch removal is included in the removal price. For standing trees that just need trimming, we provide a separate pruning quote based on the number of trees and scope of work.
