Tree Pruning Calendar

Pick a tree and see the best months to prune it, the months to avoid and why.

These tools give planning-level estimates from typical values. They are not quotes or diagnoses, and results depend on your actual tree, access, local rules and conditions. Only an on-site inspection by a Certified Arborist can confirm a tree's condition, and we give you a clear price before any work begins.

Questions

About this tool.

Can I prune in summer?

Light pruning is fine for many trees. Heavy work is better in the dormant season.

What if I pruned at the wrong time?

Most trees recover. Do it at the better time next year.

Is this the same for every yard?

It is general guidance for Middle Tennessee. We adjust for the tree in front of us.
