Vancouver Weather Note for Tree Pruning
Vancouver’s temperate rainforest climate means tree pruning timing matters. Our mild winters (rarely below freezing) allow for an extended dormant pruning season from late November through early March. The optimal pruning window is late winter (February to early March)—wounds heal quickly once spring growth begins. The wet conditions can spread fungal diseases if pruning is done during heavy rain, so we schedule work during drier periods when possible.

FAQs for Residential Tree Pruning
What is tree pruning?
Tree pruning is the selective removal of branches to improve tree health, structure, and appearance. This includes removing dead, diseased, or crossing branches while shaping the tree for optimal growth. Professional pruning promotes stronger branch structure and reduces hazards.
When is the best time for tree pruning in Vancouver?
In Vancouver’s mild climate, late winter and early spring—just before new growth begins—is ideal for most trees. Trees heal faster when dormant, and disease risk is lower. For spring-flowering trees and shrubs (like cherry, magnolia, and rhododendrons), prune right after blooming to preserve next year’s flowers. Summer-blooming plants like roses can be pruned in early spring.
How often should trees be pruned in Vancouver?
Young trees benefit from pruning every 1-3 years to establish good structure. Mature trees typically need pruning every 3-5 years. Fruit trees like apple and plum trees may need annual attention for best production.
What's the difference between tree pruning and trimming?
Pruning focuses on tree health—removing dead, diseased, or problematic branches and addressing structural issues. Trimming is more about aesthetics and clearance, shaping trees for appearance or removing branches near structures. Both require professional techniques to avoid damaging trees.
Do I need a permit to prune trees in Vancouver?
Routine pruning on private property typically doesn’t require a permit. However, tree removal is different—Vancouver’s Protection of Trees By-law 9958 requires a permit to remove any tree 20cm or more in diameter (measured 1.4m above ground). We handle all compliance requirements and can advise whether your project needs permits.
