dormant season
Winter plant rest
The dormant season is the period when plants cease active growth, typically winter in temperate climates.
Trees lose leaves, perennials die back to their roots, and metabolic processes slow dramatically.
Gardeners and farmers time pruning, transplanting, and soil preparation around the dormant season: Fruit trees are best pruned during the dormant season.
