Tree and Shrub Pruning

To keep trees strong and encourage hedges to fill in, pruning is a crucial process. Different types of trees and shrubs need to be pruned at different times of year, but early spring is generally a great time to do it because it is before new growth emerges. Pruning allows you to shape your plants and helps them grow better quality flowers and fruit as well as maintain the overall health of the plants. When doing the pruning yourself, make sure to use sharp shears and remove all broken or dead branches.
