February is a busy time for pruning. Deciduous shrubs, grasses, and hedges all need trimming this month along with climbers, fruit, and any perennials left untrimmed in flower beds over winter.
It may mean a long list of pruning jobs on any winter gardening checklist. Whether you should prune in February depends on your climate; you will need to wait until the risk of freezing temperatures has passed in colder US hardiness zones.
