In winter, the tree peony is in a dormant state. Pruning at this time has no adverse effect on the tree peony and is beneficial to the rejuvenation and flowering of the next year. To get rid of weak and strong, that is to leave three main branches per plant and three side branches per main branch, so as to not only strengthen the seedlings, but also ensure the light permeability of the plants, so as to achieve high yield.

Care should be taken that the cut is straight, round and flat. It should not be cut in the shape of a horseshoe and that side and main branches are not pitted. Remove dead leaves, which still need water and evaporate quickly, so removing them in winter will allow the plant to fully hibernate. The leaves should be removed from the bottom up to avoid injury to the flower buds.
