If people and trees are to coexist in an urban or suburban environment, then at times have to modify the trees. Also because we want trees to complement other landscape plantings and lawns, proper pruning with an understanding of tree biology can maintain good tree health and structure while enhancing the aesthetic and economic values of our landscapes. Most routine pruning to remove weak, diseased, or dead limbs can be accomplished at any time during the year with little effect on the tree. As a rule, growth is maximized, and wound closure is fastest if pruning takes place before the spring growth flush.
