You need to be careful when trimming your trees early in the fall, especially before they’ve lost all of their leaves, since they’ll struggle to heal from any damage that may have sustained during the process, however, spiral thinning – also called crown thinning – can be done any time of the year.
Spiral thinning is basically a pruning method that produces a more uniform density of the tree by removing smaller branches as well as some larger ones. It let’s more light filter into the branch structure, and creates more airflow going into and through the foliage, with less weight on the tree and main branches, making the tree less susceptible to breakage, creating a safe and healthy tree ready for new growth.
