Pruning and trimming with the moon

If possible, consider the type of day to match with the plant (flowers, leaves, fruit or roots).
For instance :

• To trim a fruit tree : use a descending moon on a fruit day.
• To prune a rosebush : a descending moon is preferable on a flower day.

Check out the plant categories page to learn how to associate a plant to a gardening day type.

The calendar below will help you determine the right times to prune with the moon.
