Winter in Cambridge brings heavy snow that can weigh down the branches of your spruce and pine trees, causing them to bend, crack, and snap. To prevent this snow-load breakage and protect your yard, conifer pruning is essential. The best time to prepare your trees is before the first major snowfall, by shaping the canopy and removing weak spots. This ensures each branch is strong enough to bear winter’s weight, helping your spruce and pine stand tall all season long.
