Winter is the ideal time to prune many plants – but not all of them.
Good plants to prune in winter
- Roses
- Apple and pear trees
- Deciduous hedges
- Fruit bushes
Pruning now encourages strong growth in spring.
Plants to avoid cutting
- Lavender
- Hydrangeas
- Frost-sensitive shrubs
These should be left until warmer weather returns.
Safety first
Winter pruning often involves heavier branches. If you’re unsure or dealing with large trees or hedges, it’s safer to call in professionals.
