It is tempting to want to get a head start on your gardening especially on the warmer days of winter. Your gardener side is itching to come out and you are eager to start pruning your trees and shrubs. For all you eager choppers, hold off your pruning until after the coldest part of winter has past, but before the hearty spring growth starts for the best results.

When pruning remember to cut at an angle that mirrors the branch collar and to cut large branches in three parts. 

It is also important to be smart about pruning and know when to bring in a professional. Call a pro when you can’t make a cut from the ground with pole pruners, if any of the work in near power lines and storm damage repair.
