When should trees be cut back?

Question

I need to tidy up some trees but not sure when it’s safest to do it? Don't want to damage the trees and there's loads of conflicting advice online

Jon · Answer

Can cut back anytime of year, just depends on what type of tree and any nesting birds.

Hi Lou, so it can depend on what sort of tree it is but the majority are ideally cut at this time which allows for the spring to add regrowth and cover cuts . Ideally do it before harder frost can sometimes damage fresh cuts. Happy to come and see what you have without obligation. 
Kind reagrds,
Robin
