Arborvitea

Question

When is the best time to top Arborvites? Ours are well over 20 feet and are now starting to bend during winter snows.

Answer 1

There is really no "best" time to prune these. They are very hardy, and will tolerate this at just about any time. I find that a good time to trim these is in early winter. Here is a link to more articles on the care of these trees:https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/arborvitae/
