A neighbor is asking us to remove about 20% of the crown of our white oak due to overhanging branches, and we’re concerned about oak wilt. How should we proceed with pruning to best protect the tree, and can we inoculate it before doing the work?
Pruning of all oak trees should be performed during the dormant season (October through March). There are preventative treatments for oak wilt. It is a systemic trunk injection that will give up to 24 months of control. Contact your local office to schedule an appointment.
