Best Cedar Tree trimming<\/strong> time is late Fall or early Spring ! <\/p>\n

A Cedar tree’s<\/strong> growth\u00a0generally retains the latest\u00a0shape created\u00a0…\u00a0but a new trimming can bring back the design shape you like best.<\/p>\n

Cedar trees can be formed into\u00a0many shapes.\u00a0 This is an easy DIY project!<\/span><\/p>\n

When one is pruning\u00a0cedars<\/b>,\u00a0 some prefer to cut\u00a0the bottom\u00a0wider than the top to allow sunlight to\u00a0the lower branches … more of a Christmas tree or cone shape. Cedars<\/strong> are\u00a0flexible and as shown in the picture above as cedars are trimmed in more of a column shape.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trimming\u00a0cedar trees or hedge can be\u00a0done most any time of the year. The best time is after spring’s 6-8 week cedar leaf growth period. <\/span><\/p>\n

Cedar Pruning Caution:<\/strong> Start out slowly and trim\u00a0a little at a time until your shape starts to develop.\u00a0 Cutting to deeply into the cedar you will run into the interior branches that have little or no foliage … then\u00a0you end with a hole in you shape .. not so good!<\/p>\n

Tools\u00a0need are a sharp pair of\u00a0hand shears for smaller trees … some smaller cedar hedges can be done with shears but with larger cedar hedges one needs an electric or gas shears.<\/p>\n

If you have large and tall cedar hedges consider using an arborist as there is some danger and\/or skill involved.<\/p>\n

Advantages\u00a0to regular annual pruning is that it keeps the cedar’s\u00a0shape you want. Regular trimming maintains\u00a0your cedar’s\u00a0size and the garden area they take up.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/tr><\/table>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
