Its re-pollarding time again!

 The lower level of tree sap during this season means that less stress will be caused to the tree, and it is also less likely that a tree will suffer infection from Insects or fungi during the Winter as both of these threats are dormant.

There are some exceptions to this rule. However, for example, walnut prefers summer pruning, and some fruit trees produce more abundant and better fruit if pruned in the summer.

 It is also worth noting that trees within conservation areas may well have Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) on them.

It is worth checking with the local authorities before you would like the work to be undertaken, and the relevant permission should then be sought either directly by yourselves or by us on your behalf.
