  • Q: When is the best time for beech tree pruning?

    A: The ideal time to prune a beech tree is during its dormant season – typically between late autumn and early spring (November to February). During this period, the tree is not actively growing, which reduces the risk of disease and encourages healthy regrowth when spring arrives.


    For light shaping or minor maintenance, summer pruning can be done (usually July or August) – especially if you’re managing a beech hedge – but avoid heavy cuts during the growing season to prevent stress and sap bleeding.


    If in doubt, it’s always best to get advice from a qualified arborist to avoid harming the tree or affecting its long-term health.
