Winter is a wonderful time to slow down a bit, spend more time around hot chocolates and fireplaces with your family, but it is also a great time to take care of your plants outside.
For many trees and shrubs, it is the best time to prune: ornamental and flowering trees, fruit, and deciduous (those that drop their leaves) trees, certain flowering shrubs, and select other plants.
Winter pruning helps plants focus all of their spring energy on viable trunks, branches, flowers, and fruit. So you get a greater explosion of color and health.
Passion for Pruning Starts at Home – At my home we have ten dogwoods, one Crabapple, a Japanese maple, one apple, and two gorgeous peach trees.
Pruning the trees during the winter ensures that from spring thru autumn, the flowers are vibrant, the trees are sturdier, and the fruit!? Ohh My G’dness… Is there anything better than a fresh, organic peach, right off the tree? And then, come winter, we enjoy our canned peaches on pancakes, or for peaches and cream with a side of hot chocolate with whipped cream by the fireplace!
You get it. Good winter pruning can produce delicious beauty year around by taking care of it now. Please call us today to schedule a winter pruning.
