Trees are not passive objects. In June, most species in the Philadelphia metro are pushing their hardest growth of the year. Understanding what that means for pruning decisions is part of what separates a trained arborist from a lawn crew with a chainsaw.
Summer pruning on actively growing trees can be appropriate for specific objectives: removing deadwood, clearing structure, or managing pest and disease entry points. But aggressive pruning of live tissue during heavy growth flush can stress the tree and invite problems. Knowing the difference requires species knowledge and a read on what the tree is actually doing.
At Executive Tree Care, assessments are built on that kind of specificity. We look at the species, the tree's current health, and what you're trying to accomplish before making a recommendation. That's what ISA Certified Arborists are trained to do.

A photo of an arborist closely inspecting a branch or tree canopy, or a clean pruning cut on a healthy limb, would reinforce the expert-assessment angle. Before-and-after of a well-pruned specimen tree also works well. Real job photos always outperform stock.
