Winter Pruning

Winter pruning is an essential job undertaken to encourage fruit trees and fruit bushes to be as productive as possible, and to shape shrubs ready for the coming year. However not all plants are best pruned in winter, some prefer a warmer time of year before being trimmed. Its not uncommon for gardeners and allotmenteers to skip pruning all together if they're unsure whether to prune or not.

If you're unsure what to prune in winter, take a look at our guide here.
