Pruning for Tree Health and Safety
Proper pruning keeps trees safe, strong, and attractive. But timing matters — pruning too early or too late can cause stress, disease, or dieback.
At Tree Removal Geelong, our experienced arborists understand the right time to prune each tree species in the Geelong and Bellarine regions.
