June is always a very busy month for a gardener. Whether it is planting, sowing, watering, feeding, or weeding, the to-do list quickly fills up. And, of course, you cannot overlook pruning. It is a year-round necessity to keep plants healthy and looking in top shape, and I cannot remember a month as a professional gardener where my pruning tools didn’t see a lot of action.
There can be different reasons to prune plants in June. Lots of shrubs are in full growth mode, and a light prune this month will keep them neat and compact, while others may have already done their blooming for the year, yet will benefit from a trim to get them prepared for next spring.
