The start of the year isn’t the easiest time for gardening. It can sometimes be tough to ward up the motivation to head outside when it is cold and frosty. When the weather breaks and provides bright January days, and you're eager to get a gardening fix, there are plenty of plants to prune in January that you can get on with.
Most trees, shrubs, and perennial plants are dormant during the wintertime, and it can certainly be easier to prune deciduous trees and shrubs when they are without leaves. The best plants to prune in January are those that produce flowers or fruit on new growth.
