Reasons for Dormant Pruning

Promote plant health
Encourage flower and fruit development
Improve plant appearance
Control plant size
Protect people and property
Avoid disease such as oak wilt

The dormant season is best for most pruning!

Pruning in early-late winter leaves fresh wounds exposed for only a short length of time before new growth beins the wound sealing process. Another advantage of dormant pruning is that it's easier to make pruning decisions without leaves obscuring plant branch structure.

Many trees can not be pruned during the growing season. These trees include Oaks and Elms. Pruning at the proper time can avoid certain disease and physiological problems.
