You may have seen warnings about “exploding trees” with the upcoming freezing weather.

Trees don’t actually explode, but freezing conditions can cause frost cracks. When temperatures drop suddenly, water inside the tree expands and contracts faster than the bark can handle, causing the outer layer to split. These frost cracks, along with branches breaking under the weight of ice, can create loud popping or cracking sounds that sometimes get described as “explosions.”

For your safety, keep a good distance from trees with heavy ice buildup or visible damage. Wait for conditions to improve before approaching or assessing any broken branches.

🌳 It’s the Best Time to Prune Your Oak Trees!

If you’ve been thinking about trimming your oak trees, now is the ideal time. In Helotes and San Antonio, the safest window for pruning is late fall through winter, especially December and January.

🍂 Why Winter Pruning Is Best

Oaks are dormant, so pruning causes less stress.

Beetles that spread Oak Wilt are barely active.

No leaves = cleaner, safer, more accurate pruning.

🛑 What to Know About Oak Wilt

Oak Wilt is a serious fungal disease that spreads through sap-feeding beetles and connected roots. Pruning in the wrong season (especially spring) increases the risk dramatically.

🛡️ How to Prevent Oak Wilt

Stick to the Nov–Jan pruning window.

If you must prune at another time, paint every cut immediately.

Keep tools clean and disinfected.

Don’t leave cut wood piled up near other oaks.

📄Oak trimming is prohibited Feb 1–May 31 unless done by a licensed tree company following city guidelines.

🌱 When to Call a Pro

If you suspect Oak Wilt or notice unusual leaf drop, discoloration, or sudden die-off, it’s smart to get a certified arborist or professional tree service to evaluate your trees.

Bottom line: Winter is the safest and healthiest time to prune your oaks. 🌳💚
