Larger trees such as oak, maple, linden and ash provide cooling shade in the summer and won't obstruct the low winter sun if planted southeast, southwest or west of a building. Evergreens located on the north side block cold winter winds. The right tree in the right place not only assures a lifetime of satisfaction, but keeps maintenance to a minimum. Pruning Pruning trees should be done to enhance health, strength, vigor and appearance, as well as prevent limbs from interfering with houses, driveways, sidewalks and wires. Proper pruning should be done during the dormant period of November through March and not during the warm season.
