Last Snow Fall

Question:
Since we had our last snow fall I have several branches on my trees that are very low to the ground. Should I cut them back if I do will this harm the tree at this time of year

Answer:
This is not the best time of the year to prune trees, for some species it doesn't mattter too much. It can also be dangerous because of the ice and snow to work outside, however, if the tree limbs are damaged or pose a threat to you or your property then they should be safely trimmed or pruned and the sounds left to heal by themselves. This is a job usually best to professionals.
