If you’re looking for an outdoor job to crack on with, there are plenty of plants to prune in January. So it’s time to clean off your secateurs and start snipping.
Most plants are dormant this month, and not all will benefit from a wintertime chop. But for some, January is the perfect time to control their shape and size, remove dead branches, and thin out congested areas. Not only can this improve your best plants’ health and appearance in the long term, but it can also increase their yield if they’re the flowering, fruiting, or berrying kind.
