Pruning is one of the most important practices in landscape management. We recommend pruning before the summer monsoons hit in Arizona, especially if you didn’t tend to your trees and bushes during the winter months. Overgrown trees can definitely topple over or break apart during the high winds of the monsoon season. How to determine if you need to prune? • Do you have an infection or insect infestation? • Has it been more than a year since you examined your trees and shrubs? • You have a mature tree that needs some TLC? • Are your trees or bushes top heavy or overgrown?
