Apple country

Tree trimming in Camino, a town that grows apples

Find Camino on U.S. 50, about midway on the way from Sacramento up to South Lake Tahoe. Fall apple pickers love Camino, and people often blur it with Apple Hill. Neighbors, yes. Twins, no.

Apple Hill means 55 ranches clustered around Camino. Christmas tree farms are part of the picture too. So many Camino households live with trees that need care on a schedule. Apples, pears and pines each want their own month.

That's what this site is about. Not just "cut it down." More like, "what does this tree need, and when?" A gardener asks that first, and a good tree service in Camino does too.

Month by month

Tree trimming in Camino, month by month

Here's the short version for a Camino yard. The mean elevation is about 3,133 feet, and it snows several times a year. Our full calendar says more about each month.

• January Prune apples and pears while they're asleep. UC Master Gardeners call this dormant pruning. Bare branches are easy to read.
• February Pines go off the list. UC says no pruning pines from February to mid-October. Finish the fruit trees before the buds swell.
• March Walk the orchard and tidy up what winter left behind. Leave the pines alone.
• April Watch pears and some apples for fire blight. UC says warm days with rain or hail are ideal for it.
• May Go easy. The International Society of Arboriculture says to avoid heavy cuts just after the spring flush of new growth.
• June A light summer trim can slow a fruit tree down. UC says summer pruning controls growth.
• July Apricots and cherries get their cuts now. UC says July and August only, inland. Evergreen oaks are pruned in summer too.
• August Look up on hot, still days. Oak limbs can drop with no wind at all. Check what hangs over the roof.
• September Skip pruning that wakes up tender new growth. Late summer cuts do that, says Illinois Extension.
• October Mid-month, the pine window opens again. Mistletoe berries start showing, and they run through December.
• November Take a pre-snow walk. Look for weak, narrow V-shaped forks and long limbs over the roof or drive.
• December Bare oaks show every mistletoe clump. When it snows, brush the low branches off gently.

Costs

What tree trimming costs in Camino

Height, tree type and ease of access all move the price. These ranges are pulled from national cost guides, so treat them as a ballpark and not a quote.

Other guides land close by. Homeyou says $212-$688, with an average near $486. Thumbtack says $402-$1,158 on average. LawnStarter says $430-$640 per tree. Pruning for health and shape runs $248-$548 at Homeyou.

Pines and oaks sit toward the high end. Fixr lists oak at $175-$1,500 and pine at $200-$1,800. Steep driveways and wires add cost, because the work is slower and more careful.

Your real price comes from the tree company that stands under your tree. Ask for it before any work starts.

Close to home

Camino homes and their trees

Camino had 782 occupied homes at the 2020 census. Of those, 570 were owner-occupied. That's about 73 percent. People here tend to stay put, which is lucky for the trees. A little care every year beats one giant job every ten.

The first post office opened in 1904. Wikipedia's Apple Hill page says people believe the county's oldest apple tree is a Rhode Island Greening, found at Larsen Ranch. An old Camino tree can hold up fine with the right cuts.

One rule fits every tree, old or new: take only what you must. The International Society of Arboriculture holds that heavy pruning stresses a tree, and that every cut needs a reason behind it. A tree company that wants half the crown gone in a single visit deserves a second opinion.
