Pruning in Columbia is health-focused — removing weak, diseased, or structurally problematic branches following ANSI A300 standards. Trimming is more aesthetic — shaping the canopy or clearing structures. Many Columbia jobs combine both. B. Haney and Sons Arborists explains the difference and what each tree actually needs during the assessment.
Most mature shade trees in Columbia, MO benefit from pruning every 3 to 5 years to maintain structure and remove deadwood. Younger trees benefit from more frequent structural pruning (every 1 to 2 years) to develop strong form. Fruit trees often need annual pruning. B. Haney and Sons Arborists can recommend a schedule based on your specific trees.
For most species in Columbia, late winter through early spring (while trees are dormant and before bud break) is ideal — wounds heal cleanly and disease pressure is lowest. Oaks should not be pruned during the spring-summer oak wilt risk period. Storm damage and hazardous limbs can be addressed any time. B.
