When is the best time of year to trim trees in DC?

Answered

Generally, the best time to trim deciduous trees in DC is the late fall or winter. However, this may vary with the species. But for most trees, the late fall or early winter is ideal because the tree is dormant and there’s less risk for disease or insect infestation.

Keep in mind you should trim your tree if it's damaged or if it's a safety hazard — no matter what time of year it is.
