Spring is the ideal time to assess your trees after a long Vermont winter and plan maintenance for the year ahead.
✓ Check for broken or hanging branches from winter storms
✓ Look for cracks or splits in trunks and major limbs
✓ Examine the base for fungal growth or heaving soil
✓ Note any trees that didn't leaf out with the others
✓ Check for leaning that has increased over winter
✓ Schedule pruning for trees that need shaping or deadwood removal
✓ Remove any winter-damaged branches before they fall
✓ Clear debris and brush piles from your property
✓ Plan any removals needed for summer construction or landscaping projects
