JANUARY
January is when climbers, shrubs and trees are leafless and in their dormant period and one of the best gardening months for pruning any garden subjects that could cause problems during winter storms and high winds. Wisteria is a good example of a climber that can be pruned now. After flowering the previous season and given a summer pruning it produces long wispy new growths that need to be controlled by cutting back. Either summer or winter pruning and whichever plant or shrub you are pruning the first step is to remove any dead or damaged branches.

Pruning Magnolia
Magnolia is both the Latin name and the common name for this genus. We advise against pruning magnolia. If the tree or shrub has enough space in the garden, it will automatically develop a well-shaped crown.
​
Pruning in June
If the plant has to be pruned or trimmed into shape, the best time to do this is June.
​
Attention!
Never prune in autumn or winter (November – April) as this will remove the spring flowers.
