Why is pruning important?

Many gardeners are afraid to prune for fear of destroying the plant.   But pruning can be necessary to ensure optimal growth in a garden setting.

Woody plants should be pruned both spring and fall.  Removing deadwood and damaged or diseased branches will improve shape, structure and overall health of your plants.  Pruning also encourages new growth.   You can learn to fill in shrub holes of change a hedges shape by following a few simple rules
