Regular tree trimming is the best way to keep them healthy, safe, and looking attractive. But how often should you trim your trees? That will depend on the species of the tree, its age and health condition, as well as Medford’s seasonal climate.
Why Tree Trimming Matters
Tree trimming is not about how it looks. Proper pruning:
- Removes weak or hazardous limbs
- Encourages stronger, healthier growth
- Helps prevent disease and pest issues
- Protects your home, roof, and surrounding landscape
When trained professionals do it correctly, trimming increases the lifespan of your trees and reduces their likelihood of experiencing storm damage.
How Often Should Your Trees Be Trimmed?
In general:
- Most shade trees: Every 2–3 years
- Younger trees: Every 1–2 years to encourage a strong structure
- Fruit trees: Annually for best production
- Evergreens: Only as needed—usually every 3–5 years
- Trees near structures, roads, or walkways: More frequent inspections and trimming may be necessary
Medford sits in a climate of heavy winter storms with hot, dry summer weather. Regular inspections play an important role in catching stress, deadwood, or limb damage early on.
