Anoka County sets no county-wide trimming rule for private trees. Cities regulate boulevard trees and oak-wilt pruning. In Coon Rapids it is unlawful to prune or trim any oak tree from April 1 to June 30.
Trimming of private trees is generally left to the property owner, but cities control public and diseased trees. Because oak wilt has spread across Anoka County, Coon Rapids bans pruning or trimming oaks during the beetle-active season: it is unlawful to prune any oak tree from April 1 through June 30. Trees on city boulevards and parks are maintained by the city forester; residents should not trim them without permission. Blaine and other Anoka County cities have similar shade-tree programs. If a tree overhangs a public street or sidewalk, cities may order clearance pruning for visibility. Check your city forestry division before major work.
Violating a city tree ordinance (such as pruning oaks in the closed season) is a petty misdemeanor; the city may also charge for damage to public trees.
