Tip #2 - Prune your Trees
The best time to prune oaks has always been the driest times of the year and it does not get much drier than this. The beetle that transmits oak wilt is inactive at this time.
Another reason to prune – trees are weakening due to the drought and will be letting more limbs die. These limbs are more likely to fall during future storms. Fallen limbs snag and make it tough for the already weak tree to heal and the limbs can cause property damage.
