Winter is actually an ideal season for tree pruning, as most trees go dormant, which makes pruning less stressful on the plant. Here are some reasons why winter pruning is beneficial:
- Reduced Stress: Pruning during dormancy minimizes shock, allowing trees to recover better. This helps prepare them for strong, healthy growth when spring arrives.
- Improved Visibility: With leaves gone, it’s much easier to see the true shape of a tree, so you can make strategic cuts that enhance its structure, health, and safety.
- Lower Risk of Disease: Cold weather means that pests, bacteria, and fungi are also dormant, reducing the chance of infections and disease transmission when cuts are made.
Winter pruning is not only beneficial for the health of your trees, but it also sets the stage for lush growth in the spring.
