When pruning trees, you must neither be late nor, especially, rush, otherwise there will be no benefit.
Plants have their own life cycle, which wise gardeners try to adapt to.
Experienced gardeners know exactly when to grab the pruning shears. There is no exact date, everything is determined by the climate and weather forecast.
But there are universal recommendations that help you get your bearings.
For example, pruning begins two weeks before the sap starts to flow. Gardeners do not wait until the buds begin to swell.
But there is no need to rush, otherwise frost can destroy the trees. You need to time the pruning at the beginning of spring, relying on the long-term weather forecast.
Pruning is necessary for trees for a number of reasons. For example, to prevent the crown from becoming too dense. Otherwise, there will be poor ventilation, creating favorable conditions for pests and diseases.
During the pruning process, dry branches, damaged and diseased shoots must be removed.
