Winter Pruning
What is going on in this example? This amalanchier has been sheared in the past, as is obvious from the tight, sucker-filled top growth. By pruning in the winter when the tree is dormant it's possible to correct some of this improper growth without much harm to the tree. Deep cuts were taken to reduce the amount of 'witch's broom' growth, thereby thinning the canopy.
