The lower temperatures and less light of November trigger deciduous trees to enter dormancy this month. As they begin their slumber for the colder months, the window for pruning them opens to the gardener. If you want to get ahead this month, here are seven trees to prune in November.
You have from now until early spring to give deciduous trees a potentially much-needed trim, and pruning on a bright day in late fall can often be more enjoyable than on a cold one in late winter. Starting early in the window also has its benefits if you have many trees and shrubs that need pruning before the end of winter. It can be satisfying to get some things ticked off on a nice day, as opposed to rushing at the back end of the window, desperately trying to get everything done.
