Dormant
Pruning — Winter Structural Pruning in the Bitterroot Valley
Dormant Pruning
The most valuable cut you can make.
An often overlooked service, dormant pruning is the structural pruning of dormant shrubs and trees to ensure the plant's shape and health are in tip-top condition. By focusing on letting sunlight through to the core of the plant by taking out any dead, diseased, damaged, or deformed branches, this method of pruning allows for buds to begin forming throughout the plant. This makes for a full, controlled, and easily maintained greenscape.
As the name suggests, "dormant" pruning is performed on deciduous plants in the dormant phase of the year; December through mid-March.
