When is the Perfect Time to Prune Your Shrubs?
Winter is the perfect time to prune, when the sap is not flowing through the plant. This avoids energy loss. In winter, disease and insects don’t pose a risk of infection because they are dormant as well. Often the ground is frozen and the leaves are gone so there is less damage to turf and less leaves to cleanup which makes the job go easier.
