I always start pruning after leafs fall mainly because the branches fall to the
ground more easily. No leafs allow a more accurate cut and avoid cutting
trellis wires also. Have always started pruning as early as possible to utilize
a year round workforce. I always heard but have never seen any
I recall a discussion in a class that I took from the Guru of plant stress
physiology Dr. C.J. (Bud) Weiser, at Oregon State University in the early 80's
about pruning in late fall/early winter compared to middle and late winter.
The answer can be summarized in how fast the plants enter deep
We were once told by an MSU Extension agent it is OK to prune after it has
gotten 20 degrees or below twice.
