Trees vary in species. Most trees can be pruned at any time of the year, with a few exceptions:
Cherry, Plum, and related trees (Prunus species) should be pruned soon after flowering to reduce the risk of bacterial infection.

Maple and Birch should not be pruned in the spring to avoid ‘bleeding’ (exuding sap), which although not considered damaging can be unsightly. Magnolia and Walnut should only be pruned in high summer.

We will make an application on your behalf, at no extra cost. We will keep you informed and process the application as quickly as possible. The application process normally takes 8-10 weeks.

A tree preservation order (TPO) covers individual trees or a group of trees and requires a specific application and must receive approval from the Local Authority before works can commence. Trees in a conservation area (CON) require a six week notice of intent application, if after this time no written confirmation has been received, then the works can proceed.
