Pruning is a very essential horticultural practice involved in the growth and health of your tree or shrub during its formative years. Pruning facilitates plant health by discarding dead or dying branches that have previously been injured by disease, insects, animals, storms or accidents. Properly pruned and structurally intact trees and plants are beneficial resources to your landscape. They will increase the curb appeal of your property, create additional clean air to breath, give your home more privacy, and lower the temperatures of your property by providing shade.

Many Connecticut landscaping experts consider the late winter season, just as spring is approaching, to be the most optimum time to perform the pruning process. Pruning during the dormant winter season tends to result in more vigorous growth the following season and has many advantages including:

• Improved access and visibility to your tree or plant. It is much more easy and convenient to make pruning decisions without the foliage obscuring plant branch structure. The absence of leaves also makes any structural issues your plants or trees may be experiencing more visible.
• The majority of tree pathogens remain dormant during the winter season. This makes your trees less susceptible to spreading infectious diseases.
• The frozen ground will provide stronger support for heavy equipment, such as bucket trucks, that it would normally not be able to support in warmer conditions. This will create less damage to your lawn during the pruning process.
• Your tree and plants require less nutrients to feed on during its dormant stages. If you are performing your pruning duties during the spring or summer, you will be reducing the tree’s capacity to create the necessary energy and nutrient it requires to flourish. By pruning in the winter season, you are pruning at a time that the energy impact is drastically lowered.

The greater part of tree damage and disease can be avoided by utilizing the proper pruning techniques. The late winter season is the optimal time for pruning because it is the greatest period to survey and care for the structural demands of the trees and plants of your landscape.
