Fast-Growing Species 2 Trees like poplars and willows may require yearly trimming. Growth can exceed 2 metres annually. Evergreens 3 Many evergreens need minimal pruning. Some varieties can thrive for 5+ years between trims.

  4. Factors That Impact Trimming Frequency Age Young trees need pruning every 2–3 years to establish structure. Mature trees typically every 3–5 years. Species Fast-growing species like willow and eucalyptus need more frequent attention. Slow growers like oak require less. Location Urban and crowded settings require more frequent maintenance. Trees near structures need careful monitoring.

  5. Young Trees vs Mature Trees Young Trees Mature Trees Require formative pruning every 2–3 years. Focus on establishing strong structure and shape. Need maintenance every 3–5 years. Focus on structural integrity and safety concerns.
