Happy South Carolina Arbor Day! Each year, South Carolina celebrates the significant value of trees on the first Friday in December. Trees not only provide us with natural beauty, but also clean air and water, cooling shade, habitat for wildlife, and healthier communities.

This time of year is also the best time to plant woody species while they are dormant. Check out the list of native trees below to learn about the many trees you can plant to help wildlife!

Tree Pruning Mistakes..
Stub cuts are the opposite of flush cuts; they leave a protruding branch stub long enough that the branch collar cannot grow over it. A rule of thumb to avoid stub cuts: If you can hang a hat on a branch stub, it’s too long.

Pruning mistakes..
One of the most common pruning mistakes is the flush cut. This occurs when you cut a branch off flush with the bark of the tree trunk or larger branch to which it’s attached. While it may look clean and streamlined, a flush cut removes the branch collar, an area of tissue that’s needed to form a seal over the pruning cut. Because the plant cannot close over the wound, a flush cut leaves an opening for pests and pathogens to enter the plant and damage or kill it.

Pruning at the right time..
Winter and late fall pruning has many benefits. Winter is the dormant season for plants and trees and is an excellent time to prune most trees and shrubs. Not only is it less stressful for the plant, it’s also easier for you to see the branch structure and less likely to spread harmful pathogens. Trees also heal more quickly when pruned before spring bud break.

Pruning Season is coming up!
When to Prune, Conifers may be pruned any time of year, but pruning during the dormant season may minimize sap and resin flow from cut branches.

Hardwood trees and shrubs without showy flowers: prune in the dormant season to easily visualize the structure of the tree, to maximize wound closure in the growing season after pruning, to reduce the chance of transmitting disease, and to discourage excessive sap flow from wounds. Recent wounds and the chemical scents they emit can actually attract insects that spread tree disease. In particular, wounded elm wood is known to attract bark beetles that harbor spores of the Dutch elm disease fungus, and open wounds on oaks are known to attract beetles that spread the oak wilt fungus.

Take care to prune these trees during the correct time of year to prevent spread of these fatal diseases.

In Charleston the best time to prune is during the late fall and winter.
