Navigating the Seasons: Best Practices for Tree Cutting in Florida by Mid Florida Tree Service, Inc.

Greetings from Mid Florida Tree Service, Inc.! As your trusted partners in tree care, we understand the importance of timing when it comes to tree cutting in the diverse climate of Florida. Today, we delve into the intricacies of the optimal cutting season and the considerations that might lead us to deviate from this standard practice.

 

The Optimal Cutting Season: Late Winter to Early Spring

At Mid Florida Tree Service, Inc., we advocate for tree cutting during the late dormant season, spanning from late winter to early spring. Why this timeframe? During these months, most trees are in a state of rest, experiencing minimal growth. This results in less stress for the tree when cut, facilitating optimal healing and recovery.

Deviating for Practical Reasons: Post-Storm Cleanup

In the aftermath of storms, waiting until after the hurricane season (June 1 to November 30) allows for a thorough assessment of damage and strategic adjustments. While this may fall outside the optimal cutting season, it is a pragmatic approach to handling storm-related tree issues.

Respecting Nature’s Calendar: Postponing for Spring Blooms

For trees that bloom in spring, we respect nature's calendar by postponing cutting until after the blooming period. This consideration is particularly pertinent for ornamental trees, where preserving the beauty of spring blossoms is paramount.

Active Growth Phase: Considering a Quicker Recovery

Opting for cutting during the active growth phase, typically late spring to early fall, may be preferred for specific scenarios. In situations where a quicker recovery is desired, and the benefits of minimizing stress-related issues outweigh the advantages of the dormant season, this approach proves effective.
