sumac trees?
Question:
My sumac trees are too tall. When should I cut back my sumac trees?
Answer:
Once the trees have gone dormant for the winter you can cut them. Certified Arborist Wes Hopper says the nutrients will have been stored in the roots for the winter and the trees will come back from the ground in spring. He also recommends pruning them after they bloom to keep them a manageable size.
