How does the tool determine the pruning window?

The `get_pruning_window` tool calculates dates by analyzing the plant's dormancy period, whether it is a new wood or old wood bloomer, and the expected last frost date, while respecting any nesting exclusion periods.

Can I check for conflicts with local wildlife?

Yes, you can use `check_ecological_conflict` to verify if your proposed pruning window overlaps with protected nesting exclusion dates to protect local fauna.

What is a biological buffer?

A biological buffer is a strategic lead time used to allow plants to recover or harden off. You can calculate this using `calculate_biological_buffer` before critical events like frost or blooming.

This MCP server provides a precise scheduling engine for horticultural management. It reconciles biological dormancy cycles, bloom requirements, frost risks, and wildlife protection windows to determine safe pruning periods. Use get_pruning_window to find the optimal time for maintenance, or check_ecological_conflict to ensure pruning does not interfere with protected nesting periods. It also includes tools like validate_date_sequence and calculate_biological_buffer to manage complex seasonal schedules.
