Overgrown Trees: The Risk And The Cure
January 6, 2024
Summer’s here and your trees are shining in all their viridescent glory. But, what does all this luscious green growth mean for you and your property? That depends on some tree care variables. For example: Are your tree’s limbs weighed down due to excessive growth?
While it’s not ideal to trim or prune trees in the summer months, if your overgrown trees pose a risk to you (or a nearby structure), you may not have a choice.
At ALL PRO TREE & CRANE, INC. we can thoroughly analyze your tree(s) with a qualified risk assessment; to help you make the best possible decision in mitigating any potential damage.
When is it appropriate to prune trees in summer?
For the greater Hendersonville area, we recommend the following:
- Is your tree a fruit tree? If so, trimming or pruning in the summer months will not damage your tree. However, it could potentially bear less fruit for up to two years following a warm-weather pruning.
- Does your tree have weak or broken branches? Then your tree needs immediate servicing, regardless of what time of year it is. Dangling branches are an immediate risk to anyone or anything nearby.
- Can you spot dead limbs (otherwise known as deadwood) in your tree? If so, your tree poses an immediate risk. It only takes one gust of wind to knock deadwood onto a person or nearby structure, so isn’t it better to be “safe than sorry,” as they say?
- Is the tree in question a maple, walnut, or birch tree? If yes, then it can be safely trimmed or pruned without any potential damage to the tree. Although, as a sappy hardwood, it will produce an oozy sap in summer months which could attract pests and/or look unsightly.
- Is your tree seriously overgrown? Then trimming in the summer months may reduce its growth in the coming year. In some cases, this may actually be a best-case scenario. If so, All Pro Tree & Crane can help.

April showers bring May flowers, but June brought heavy winds and the start of hurricane season. Hurricane season runs from June 1st until November 30th in North Carolina. During this time, heavy drafts develop quickly, and are so powerful they pull saplings out of the ground. No mercy is shown to whatever lies in the pathway of the plummeting storm. If you find yourself in this situation, it is important to have a professional handle the removal process.
Tree disease has been rampant across North Carolina for years, causing a direct decline in annual timber production, linked to reduced growth and higher tree mortality.
Why is it Best to Remove Your Dead or Dying Tree Before Winter Weather Hits?
Can you believe winter months are just around the corner? That’s right – it’s nearly 2022! But why is this important for tree health? Did you know winter is the perfect time to prune your trees and shrubs? Maintaining your trees while they are dormant only enhances their luscious greenery come spring. As professional arborists and tree workers, our priority is caring for your trees. At All Pro Tree & Crane, we cultivate your tree’s health and promote your trees’ future growth and fullness.
Are your trees prepared for the extra weight and pressure snow brings in the winter months? Here in Western North Carolina, we don’t typically see an extraordinary amount of snow. However, when snow falls in the Blue Ridge, we don’t experience the fluffy, powdery stuff. Instead, our snow is heavy, wet, and overbearing to unsuspecting trees.
There are times we receive some strange looks when we bring in a heavy-hitting crane for a tree removal. Some have said we’re quick to bring in big equipment. But, at All Pro Tree & Crane, we know:
Autumn is upon us! The most beautiful time of year in Western North Carolina. The Great Smoky Mountains are just beginning to turn their beautiful shades of red, orange and gold. The trees in your yard aren’t exempt from this change; but did you know they may require a little extra TLC to thrive throughout the cooler months? The trees in the woods surrounding your home typically have an advantage. The forest tends to create an abundance of nutrients within its natural environment. Fallen bark and leaves organically decompose and feed the roots of the forest trees, whereas you probably rake these biological nutrients out of your yard for aesthetic purposes.
