It is that time of year again although the weather is definitely not cooperating. California is facing a third year of drought and by far the worst year on record for rain. Along with the lack of rain is a lack of winter. We had about one week of actual cold weather, other than that it has been quite warm. This means that the plants have not gone dormant like they should. Usually you want to prune just after the coldest part of winter and before spring kicks in. This is the time of year it would usually be done so I went ahead and pruned. I did not take before pictures this year but caught the after.
I went drastic on the pomegranate, cutting it more than I have in the past, especially with the height.
The grapes were trimmed back to leave a main stalk and a few off shoots to train along the wires, they are almost done in this picture.
Finally there are the roses, I went easy on them this year, mostly just trimmed and cleaned them up.
