Winter is a great time to trim trees and shrubs. And city crews have been hard at work. Trimming in winter prevents insects and diseases from harming trees. Pruning can improve a tree’s structure and overall health.
The Roseville Public Works crew’s goal is to trim approximately 20% of city trees in the winter months. City staff receive training in the latest pruning techniques. They remove overgrowth and damaged limbs. Proper pruning keeps the city’s trees healthy and strong and prevents possible damage from falling branches. Regularly trimming trees also helps maintain visibility along streets.
