Fruit Trees
This is a good time to prune, as long as it is not done right before a heavy freeze. Best time to prune apples.
Peach and nectarine trees can be pruned heavily, removing half of last year's growth to produce new shoots for next year's crop.
Trees and Shrubs
Most ornamental trees can be pruned in late February, except maple, birch and walnut.
Prune summer flowering trees and shrubs now. Select relatively warm days in late February or early March where the weather is predicted to not be very cold for a few days.
Enjoy this time to observe and view the bare look of your garden for ideas as what to add or eliminate. Start exercising--you know those backs and knees will be getting a work out in the next few months. Relax and enjoy the peacefulness and quiet of the winter garden to reflect on the season to come
Thanks Houston Plant and Garden World for the info!!
