Yes and no, shrubs should and shouldn't be pruned in winter. They shouldn't be pruned if there isn't a problem. Generally, you can think of the rules of the letter 'D'. Do winter pruning if there's damage that must be corrected. Do it if there's a danger otherwise to people and property. Do it if there's a disease that must be stopped. And do it if it's due to be done in winter.

t isn't their regular pruning time. Many pruning schedules take place in the closing, transition months of February and March, between winter and spring. But other pruning schedules don't take place at that time at all. For example, shrubs such as forsythia that bloom early shouldn't be pruned in winter.
