Maximize Your Redbud’s Bloom! Schedule now for late Winter Pruning
Prune your redbud trees to keep them healthy and beautiful all year round!
Timing is crucial when it comes to pruning redbud trees. The ideal time to prune is late winter to early spring, just before new growth begins. Pruning during this period ensures that the tree heals quickly and can direct its energy towards producing beautiful flowers.

Storm Damage to Trees? We’re Here to Help!
Expert Storm Tree Damage Management: Keep Your Landscape Safe and Beautiful

Cicadas are gone, but they left tree scars!
As the cicadas retreat, you might start noticing the aftermath of their presence. One clear sign of cicada damage is “flagging,” where young branch tips die off, marked by the slits where female cicadas laid their eggs. While this damage can kill small branch tips, rest assured that your plants are likely to recover in the long run. For younger trees, you can prune out any affected or dead branch tips.
