![]() ![]() Most pruning is done at the end of dormant season because injury from low winter temperatures are avoided, and because flower buds are easily recognized and pruning wounds heal quickly. In March and into early April, tree fruits like apples and pears, and small fruits like blueberries and raspberries, remain fully dormant while the worst of winter weather conditions have passed. This time of year is also when UNH Extension typically offers in-person pruning demonstrations around the state. The beginning of March marks the start of pruning season for New Hampshire gardeners and home orchardists. ![]()
