It may sound strange, but it makes sense when you consider:
- When trees are dormant, any work done is less invasive and better tolerated
- The ground is frozen so there is less impact by bringing in trucks
- There are fewer opportunities for diseases or insects to infect the tree when it is cut
- Deciduous trees have shed their leaves making it easier to work
- The tree has time to recover so it looks good when you want it o: in Spring Summer and Fall
