Like many living things, apple trees need to rest for part of the year. This resting time is called dormancy. In January, while the trees are dormant, pruning begins. Limbs are sawed off and clipped so that the tree gets as much sunlight as possible. Pruning allows the tree to produce larger, better colored, higher quality and more valuable fruit.

Equipment repairs and maintenance occupies the days of February and March that are too cold or stormy to be outdoors.
