60ft Pin Oak Pruning | Before and After

This is a 60ft pin oak we pruned in late 2020. The overgrown and entangled branches can cause open wounds which can ultimately expose the tree to fatal diseases, such as oak wilt. In the second image, you can see a much healthier version of the tree. Oak trees should only be pruned during dormancy to prevent sap feeding beetles from spreading harmful oak wilt spores.
