When to trim a cedar hedgeA cedar hedge is a great way to maintain privacy from your neighbors. However, a hedge needs to be pruned every year. The qualified personnel at Émondage Saint-Jean know what to do. By using our services, your neighbors will envy your hedge!
The pruning of the cedar hedge can only begin when the very first buds emerge. The period from July 1st to September 15th is particularly favourable for pruning cedars. However, pruning during hot weather or heat waves is not recommended. What an annual pruning will create is a bushy cedar with a resplendent look! This is a very desirable result. However, the pruning period is still quite short; it is therefore important to anticipate it by making an appointment well in advance. Even better, it is advisable to agree on a pre-determined recurring period dedicated to the pruning of your hedge. This will free your mind, since the pruning will be done at the right time. |

How to prune successfully
When the cedars are still young, our qualified staff only focuses on their side branches. As soon as they reach the desired height, pruning at the top can begin.
It is strongly recommended to prune only one third of any new growth. Of course, it is possible to prune more radically and remove half of it. However, it is not appropriate to go beyond this point as it will compromise the development of the cedar.

Are you familiar with the technique called formation pruning? It consists of giving a tree a specific silhouette. It is more than desirable to start the process at the beginning of a tree's growth. Here is why.
First of all, it takes several years to correct structural defects in a tree. Also, it may take a tree more or less time, depending on the diameter of the branches involved, to heal from the scars caused by cutting. If this time is too long, problems can occur. This risk is reduced by starting pruning early in the growth of a tree.
