The garden in January still requires our attention. Now is the time to perform a certain procedure that will make our plants come alive and bloom and bear fruit profusely in the following months. It is simple and won’t take much time. However, we must be careful not to make common mistakes that could harm our plants.

In winter, we also need to take care of our garden. For this purpose, it is worth reaching for a pruner to trim the plants. This will stimulate them to grow stronger in spring. Getting rid of old, diseased or too dense shoots will make the bush or tree better illuminated and, as a result, produce more healthy growths. This will improve the flowering and fruiting of the specimens.

However, this treatment should be performed on days where the temperature is at least 5 degrees Celsius. Let’s avoid doing it during severe frosts so as not to harm our plants.

However, it is worth knowing which plants we can safely plant in January, because not all species tolerate it well. Specimens that will benefit from this treatment include apple and pear trees. They perfectly tolerate translucent and shaping cutting. Thanks to this, they are able to enter the growth phase faster in spring.

However, when it comes to shrubs, January pruning promotes development raspberries, haskap berries, currants and gooseberries. Getting rid of old shoots will stimulate the specimen to produce new and strong growths.

In January we can also prune hazel trees. This will improve their fruiting. Winter pruning applies to plants that contain juices that support the healing process of pruning wounds.

When cutting plants, we must watch out for mistakes that could cause us to harm our specimens instead of helping them. First of all, as we have already mentioned, we should not do it during frost, not even a moment before the announced sudden drop in temperatures.

This could result in the wounds not having time to heal, which will lead to the weakening of the entire plant and tissue cracking. Another mistake is cutting too hard. In winter, we must be especially careful, so it is worth removing fewer shoots and making any corrections in spring. Pruning too much could significantly weaken the specimen.
