A pruning calendar is a tool that gardeners use to plan when to prune which plants. Pruning trees and shrubs at the wrong time can cause them to not flower for a year and may cause fungal spores to enter. For example, if you prune a buddleja tree too early, it may not send new growth or produce large flowers until the following year. A hydrangea can also be damaged by fungal spores and disease if it is pruned too early.

Pruning calendars uk are also useful to help you prune the right shrubs at the correct times. Certain shrubs do not require pruning. Others can still be pruned if done at the correct time.

Here are some helpful tips to help you use a pruning planner.
