Benefits of Dormant Pruning in Winter
In addition to causing less stress on a plant or tree, winter is an ideal time for dormant pruning for these reasons:
- During winter, the structure of the plant is more readily visible. Crossed branches and diseased or weak limbs can easily be removed before they become a hazard in spring.
- The spread of disease is greatly reduced in winter since most diseases and insects are also dormant and will not actively infect plants through the open pruning wounds like they might during spring.
- Dormant pruning results in a flush of new growth in spring.
- New foliage has plenty of time to harden off before the harsh temperatures of summer set in.
